Units Manager
The Units Manager gives you a real-time view of all your displays and the tools to manage them remotely. In Menuboard Manager, a "unit" refers to the physical media player (such as an Android device, smart TV, or Chrome player) connected to your screen.
Status Monitoring
At a glance you can check the health of any unit:
Connection Status — a green icon indicates the unit is online and communicating.
Last Connection — shows when the unit last checked in with the server.
System Health — monitor internal storage usage and CPU temperature (where supported).
Hardware & Software Details
Platform — identifies whether the device is running Android, WebOS, or Windows.
Network — displays the IP address, MAC address, and connection type (WiFi or wired Ethernet).
App Version — shows the version of Menuboard Manager software currently running on the player.
Content Assignment
Within a unit's settings you can:
Sign Assignment — choose which presentation should play on this screen.
Scheduling — set timers for screen on/off, or rotate content based on time of day (dayparting).
Remote Management
The Remote Management sidebar lets you troubleshoot and control screens without being on-site:
Take Screenshot — see exactly what is playing on the screen right now.
Update Content — force the unit to check for and download new content immediately.
Reboot Unit — remotely restart the media player to clear cache or resolve performance issues.
Reload App — refresh the software layer without a full system reboot.
Clear Cache/Media — purge old files to free up storage and ensure only current assets are on the device.
Tips
Use Tags — tag units by city, region, or store type to filter your list and perform bulk updates.
Check Screenshots Regularly — the Latest Screenshot section confirms your branding and pricing are displaying correctly on screen.
