    Misc – Device Polling Interval

    Interval in minutes device polls the EMS database for booking information (e.g., new, changed, canceled) bookings. The EMS Room Sign App randomizes calls to the EMS database by +/- 20 seconds to ensure that all of your devices aren’t polling for information at identical times.

    Once the EMS Room Sign App is running on your device, double-tap the EMS Room Sign App logo in the upper-left of the screen to reaccess the Settings screen. This setting requires the user to enter a PIN.

Customize Style Sheet

To modify the look and feel of the EMS Room Sign App, use a custom style sheet. This style sheet overrides all default style sheets and controls the colors throughout the application.

  1. Create an EMSRoomSignApp/Content/Custom folder on your web server.
  2. Name your custom style sheet CUSTOM.CSS and place it in the EMSRoomSignApp/Content/Custom folder. If the system detects this file, it will override all default style sheets (e.g., Layout.css, Positioning.css, Site.css, etc.).

Supported Logo and Background Image Sizes

To customize the logo and/or background, update the ‘Logo Url’ and ‘Background Url’ profile settings in the ‘Misc’ area.

  • Use a URL or server path (e.g., /EmsRoomSign/Content/Images/custom-logo.png).
  • The logo can be a maximum of 300 x 80 pixels. 
  • The background depends on the tablet resolution.
  • For landscape mode, the image resolution will typically be 1024 x 768.
