Organization tab
Use this tab when you want a rule to apply automatically to all screens in a group - including screens added later. This is useful if, for example, you want all new screens in a dempartment to always start with the same content.

Active policies appear in the Policies tab.
Policies tab

- Click update policy.
- Make your changes and confirm.
- Find the policy in the list.
- Click delete policy.
- Confirm the deletion.
Device Map
The Device Map shows a world map of all screens in your organization. This makes it easy to get an overview of which devices are online and where they are located.
What the pins mean:
- Red, opaque pin = screen is online.
- Red, transparent pin = screen is offline.
- Zoom using the scroll wheel or the controls in the corner.
- Pan by clicking and dragging.
- Click a pin to view information about the screen.
Some screens report their location automatically. If your screen does not appear on the map:
- Go to the device’s editing window in Fyresign.
- Open Advanced settings.
- Enter the device’s Latitude and Longitude.
- Save the changes.
Frequently asked questions about Fleet managment
What is the different between "Set playlist" and "Override playlist"?
Set playlist replaces the content immediately without creating a policy. Override playlist does the same, but also lets you schedule when the change takes effect.
Yes. A policy at organization level appliea to all screens within the selected scope - both existing and future devices.
No. Deletion is permanent. You will need to create a new policy manually if you want to restore it.
This varies by device and operating system. If a screen does not appear on the map, add its location manually via Advanced settings.
