Create and Deploy a Digital Label

Get your Digital Labels live by connecting your device to a designated Space and copy the activation URL.

Written by Gabrielle Fanning

Overview

Digital Labels are part of the Extend product line, helping you transform how you present your collection inside your Venue. This product delivers dynamic, screen-based content for devices like tablets and touchscreens, enhancing visitor engagement by highlighting artifacts, introducing galleries, or contextualizing Spaces. Everything needed for setup and management is handled from the Devices tab.

Before You Begin

Before you link a Space to a Device, ensure you have completed the foundational setup: Manage Your Venue, Manage Your Buildings, and Manage Your Levels and Spaces.

Digital Labels leverage the Space and Object content displayed in the Empower PWA. If you'd like to display content that hasn’t yet been added to your Pladia Console, please begin by creating the necessary Spaces and Objects before setting up your Digital Labels.

Note: The Devices tab is currently available to Extend-enabled customers only. If you’re interested in enabling Digital Labels for your organization, please contact your Pladia Customer Success team member.

Create a New Digital Label

  1. Navigate to the Devices tab in the sidebar.
    ​

  2. Click Create New.
    ​

  3. Enter a Device Name (for internal use only).
    ​

  4. Optional: Check the box to Enable sound on this device.
    If checked, any linked audio/video will play from your device. If you also use Empower, you can leave this box unchecked and visitors will be prompted to scan the QR code to listen through their own device.
    ​

  5. Click Link Space to choose the content that will appear from your existing Spaces.
    ​

  6. Optional: Click Select Objects to refine which Objects within the linked Space show on your Device.
    ​

  7. Click Save.
    ​

  8. Click Publish to make the Device available in your next Public Release.

Tip: Linking to a Space ensures the label displays only the content relevant to its physical location.

Deploy your Digital Label

Each Device is assigned a unique provisioning URL after it has been published and included in a Public Release.

  1. Publish the Device in the Pladia Console.
    ​

  2. Perform a Public Release that includes the Device, and any new or updated linked content (such as Spaces or Objects).
    ​

  3. Once released, return to the Device record: now your Provisioning Link will be active.

    1. Click Copy QR Link to get the provisioning URL

    2. Click Copy QR Code to download a QR Code SVG file linked to this device.
      ​

  4. Open the URL in a browser on your preferred display device.
    ​

The Copy Link button is disabled until the Device has been both Published and included in a Public Release.

You're all set! Contact Customer Success if you have any further questions.
