We have been running into the same reoccurring issue with the digital signs and yesterday we just had enough.

We are pulling the news announcements from the CMS where the news is already being entered and scheduled for the departmental websites. The issue arises because it is the same information in two different contexts.

So we sketched out an idea of how we can allow content creators to modify the titles just for the digital signs. By default the sign would need to use the main title but if the department wants they can change it. The initial sketch is above.

Three hours later it was implemented into the CMS and pushed to production. The signs are now displaying the titles specified for the sign context.

Situations like this make us glad we maintain our own CMS and have the flexibility to accomplish the universities goals in a timely and cost effective manor.
