KORBYT COMMAND

On this article we will describe what Korbyt Command is, how to use and how to create and configure.

What is it? 

Korbyt Command is a powerful all-in-one graphical user interface that displays all players installed within a given location and gives the user an un-complicated ability to add and remove content.  

With the Korbyt Command feature, you have the ability to use different types of maps to view players that are in separate geographical locations, where a player in located in a specified floorplan, or view all players within a given location.  

In addition, you can view what content is currently assigned to a player and quickly assign new content by simply dragging and dropping.

How can it be beneficial? 

Korbyt Command is a very beneficial feature as it streamlines the process to locate a player to view or assign content within a given floorplan or geographical location. You no longer need to guess or have someone on-site to verify a specific player’s location.   

Because this feature is a graphical user interface there is little to no training needed to use. Follow the 3 steps of (1) Select Floorplan, (2) Add Displays and (3) Assign output & Save. You simply just click a player on the map to access the player name and content assigned. This allows new users to easily use this feature.
