Georgia-based Visix, Inc. has released version 1.65 of its AxisTV Signage Suite software. This latest update adds features for higher-education clients, and improves Visix Cloud and software user experiences.
“This release focuses on expanding our already-considerable offering for colleges and universities,” says Trey Hicks, COO and CSO for Visix. “We’ve been dedicated to the higher-education market for decades, and we’re constantly surveying our clients to see what we can do to help them simplify their workflows for better visual communications. This release streamlines and expands both data integration and alerting capabilities by partnering with already popular campus systems.”
Visix AxisTV Key Updates
NetMenu is CBORD’s complete web-based, fully hosted food-service solution for higher-education venues. AxisTV Signage Suite’s desktop designer, AxisTV Design, has a new CBORD widget. This widget lets clients pull in data from NetMenu to create stunning, auto-updating menu boards for digital signs. The drag-and-drop widget also pairs with data-driven text fields and artwork in fullscreen layouts or single messages within playlists. Visix consultants can help clients with initial configuration and design.
A new announcement hub in the AxisTV Manage content-management system lets administrators publish announcements to AxisTV Design users once they log in and connect to the server. This tool gives clients with multiple content contributors a centralized, in-app messaging system for various applications. Some of these include maintenance notices and software update reminders.
Announcements can include a title, body text and more info URL. Additionally, it includes delivery in English, French, Spanish and German. AxisTV Design users can dismiss each popup announcement temporarily or permanently, so as not to interrupt workflows.
