Creating a Text Media Advertisement


How to create and configure a text advertisement  to display messages or promotional alerts to players on course devices.

Steps

1. Add a New Advertisement

  • Click the “Add New Advert” button in the top-right corner of your dashboard.

  • A pop-up window will appear where you can create your advertisement.

2. Choose Advertisement Type and Device

  • Enter a name for your advertisement (e.g., “Text”).

  • Select Text Advertisement as the type.

  • Choose the device type:

    • Cart Only – for cart-mounted 2Way screens.

    • Walker Only – for handheld 5-inch 2Way devices.

    • Any Device Type – if both are in use.

3. Set Display Location (Trigger Point)

  • Select when and where the advertisement should display, for example, “First Fairway.”

  • Click the location once to select it, and click again to confirm.

4. Configure Display Duration

  • Under Display Settings, set how long the text will remain visible.

  • You can:

    • Drag the duration slider, or

    • Manually enter a time value (e.g., 30 seconds).

5. Add Advertisement Text

  • Type the message in the advertisement text box (e.g., “Enjoy your round!”).

Example:
For promotional messages like “Half off burgers from 2–6 PM during Happy Hour!”, you can link the ad to your Food & Beverage Menu.

  • Enable the F&B Menu Link if you want the message to redirect players.

  • Disable it if the ad is purely informational.

6. Configure Player Exit Option

  • Decide whether players can close the advertisement before the timer ends.

    • Enabled: Players can exit early.

    • Disabled: The ad remains visible for the full duration.

7. Set Active Days and Times

  • Choose when the advertisement should be active.

  • Toggle specific days of the week on or off.

  • Adjust active hours for each day:

    • Example: Monday–Friday (6 AM–6 PM)

    • Weekends (6 AM–12 PM only)

8. Add Sound Option

  • Use the sound toggle (speaker icon) in the top-right corner to decide if an alert sound plays when the ad appears.

    • Sound On: Plays an alert tone.

    • Sound Off: Displays silently.
