Use the Upcoming Events app to display entries from a calendar feed on any Spectrio display. All it takes to showcase upcoming store events, sales, employee birthdays, and more is to maintain a calendar via Google, Yahoo!, or Microsoft Outlook 365.
Display up to three different calendars on a single instance of the app, and create as many app instances as you'd like.
Using the Panel view will allow you to display up to 9 future events, along with details such as the location or description, and includes special illustrations for certain holidays and event types.
The Agenda view will allow you to display up to 15 events, and is great for highlighting events where the details are not critical.
