  4. Refresh or filter to the intended location/date.
  5. Verify the TV preview or display and Toast connection when data is missing.

ShiftQ

Metrics reflect the selected scope and source timestamp. Group scope rolls up eligible locations; location scope shows a single venue.

Order Board

Open and Ready are operational queues; completion removes a ticket from active playback according to the configured flow.

TV playback

Preview checks presentation. Live output also depends on published assignment, Player health, and location connectivity.

Troubleshooting

  • No data can mean the selected date/location has no records, Toast is disconnected, or the sync is stale.
  • A display can be empty while Admin has data if its assignment, published campaign, or Player connection differs.
  • For ready and completed states, verify the selected scope, access level, required connection, and displayed validation or freshness status; retry once after correcting the cause, then create a context-rich Support case if it continues.
  • For disconnected or empty queue, verify the selected scope, access level, required connection, and displayed validation or freshness status; retry once after correcting the cause, then create a context-rich Support case if it continues.
