Depending on what you are using as a DAKboard Display, there are several ways you can Assign your Screen to your Display. This article will show you all the options.
Assign Screen in Displays & Devices:
For Displays you have registered to your account, both DAKboard OS and non-DAKboard OS displays, you can assign your Screens to them from the Displays & Devices tab. To do this, log into your DAKboard account, click on the Displays & Devices tab on the left side of your screen, and click on the image below the Assigned column as seen below:
This will load the Assign a Screen, Loop, or Schedule window. Here you can select any Screen, Loop, or Schedule you have created in your account and assign it to your Display. Just click the tab you want to select from at the top, then select the Screen, Loop, or Schedule from the selections in each tab. See Below:
Save your selection and your Display will update shortly. This will work with any DAKboard OS device or non-DAKboard OS device that has successfully linked to your account. See the following Support Articles and sections to see how to link your Devices to your account:

The Default Screen and Apps:
When using one of our apps to display your Screens, the Amazon Fire TV App for DAKboard, or the Android Phone App (Currently, not available), the Screen will be your account's Default Screen. When you first setup your account this will be set to the Predefined Screen. Once you create your first Custom Screen (Available with Paid Subscriptions) you can set it as your Default Screen if you like. Only one Default Screen can be set at a time, though you can also set a Loop, or Schedule (Loops and Schedules are available on the Plus and Pro Plans only) to be your Default Screen as well.
NOTE: Loops and Schedules may not function properly with the Apps.
To change your Default Screen, see our article How to Access and Update the Account Defaults to see how to make these changes. Once Selected, all devices running the Apps will load this Screen.
Unregistered Non-DAKboard OS Devices:
If you are unable to link your non-DAKboard OS device's browser to DAKboard via one of the methods above, the Custom Screen, Loop, or Schedule's URLs manually into your Device's browser, or log into your account from your Device's browser and choose View on the screen you wish to run on the Device. This will not work with the Predefined Screen on the Free Account.
To Find your URL go to the Screen, Loop, or Schedule you want to use, click the three dots in the lower right-hand corner, and choose View. This will open the URL in your browser. You will need to enter this into your Device's browser and let it load. Once this is entered and loaded, bookmark the URL for quicker access the next time you use it this way. Please be aware that this may expose your Screen's URL. We recommend running your browser in Fullscreen or Kiosk modes to hide this URL from general view.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why am I Getting a 403 Error?
The 403 error is to let you know you are trying to access a service you do not have permission to use. This will happen if you are trying to use a Custom Screen when you have a Free Plan, or Loops or Schedules when on a Free or Essential Plan. To use a Custom Screen you must have a Paid Subscription, to use a Loop or Schedule you will need a Plus or Pro Subscription (Pro Subscriptions are no longer available for new signups).
