Abstract
A system, apparatus, method, and media are directed to digital signage. Digital signage types are grouped into a digital signage channel. A template for the digital signage channel is received. The network comprises a network channel associated with the digital signage channel. A creation interface configured to create a new digital signage message based on the template is provided. A new digital signage message provides a definition for a display of a view of the new digital sign. The definition is adapted to map elements of the view to a plurality of data structure types for storing the new digital signage message. An approval interface configured to approve the new digital signage message based on a limited representational view of the new digital signage message is provided. A renderable instance of the approved new digital signage is provided for display on a interactivity limited digital signage device.
