Templates App

The Enplug Templates App provides pre-configured templates for building simple and attractive signs. You can link data spreadsheets or create your own templates from scratch.

Accessing the Templates App

To access the Templates app:

1. Log into Enplug.
2. Click the Apps drop-down menu at the top of your dashboard, then navigate to the Templates App.
3. Choose Blank Canvas to create a template from scratch or Choose Template to select on of our pre-configured templates. 

Using a Template

• Upon selecting a template, you'll provide a name for it.
• Use the filters on the left menu to narrow down the results list, search by key terms, and sort by screen orientation, category, and creation date. 
• Each template is customizable so you can add, edit, or remove text, images, backgrounds, etc.

Note: When opening a template with multiple preview pages, this is a dynamic template ready for data import. For more information on this process, reference our  Templates App - Dynamic Images and Custom Triggers article.

Creating a Template

You can also make your own template, using the blank canvas option. 

To do so:

1. From the app, click Blank Canvas.
2. Provide a Sign Name.
3. Create/adjust content accordingly.
4. Click Save.

Adding Content

There are multiple media types to help you build your template on the canvas (text, countdown/up timer, date, shape, and images).

• Use Text to add words. You can customize the color, size, and font. If the Text content is longer than the Template, you can enable Auto Scroll Mode. Scrolling speeds will vary automatically depending on amount of text.
• Use Countdown/up to add a timer. The Count-Up timer can be used as a days since timer. Select the Display tab to turn off/on time interval.
• Use the Format tab to change the date/time format.
• Use the Date tab to set the date and time. You can choose from various date/time formats.
• Use Shape to add shapes. You can customize fill and outline colors.
• Use Image to upload images (.JPEG, .PNG, or .GIF) from your computer, browser, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, or Google Photos.
• Use Image Placeholder to add images linked to triggered content via a data spreadsheet.
• Use List View to create custom-defined lists linked to imported data. For more information about this feature, check out our Templates App - List View guide. 
• Use Donut to create a Doughnut Graph into the template. The Doughnut Graph can have its percentage added manually or linked to Data from your template.
