Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the font size/color, etc on my signage screens?

Yes - by modifying your signage template. For more information, please see our KB article: What is HTML and how do I use it within my MIDAS templates?

Will my signage screens still work if there's no connection to my MIDAS server?

Your digital signage screens will regularly refresh and attempt to obtain the latest data on your bookings from the server.

In the event the connection to the server is lost, the last known good information will continue to be displayed on screen, but a small warning will be displayed in the lower left corner of your screens alerting you that the connection to the server was lost.

MIDAS will keep retrying the connection, and should it be restored, the warning will disappear and your screens will continue to update as normal.

How many signage screens can MIDAS support displaying different content for each room?

There are no software limits imposed on the number of screens that MIDAS can generate. This would only be limited by your physical infrastructure.

Can I display bookings exactly as they apear to logged in users (i.e. in a graphical booking grid)?

The Digital Signage addon is designed to display bookings in a simple list or table format. Other layouts may be possible through customizing your signage templates, however for more complex/bespoke display of bookings on your screens, our optional API may be better suited to your needs, as this will allow you to programatically read raw booking data from your MIDAS system, which you can then format, use, and display however you wish.
