Dynamic Content: Weather, Date, and Time Widgets
Managing with Weather, Date, and Time assets in the Dynamic Content section of the Template Editor.
Intro to Weather, Date, and Time Widgets
Weather, Date, and Time allows you to add trusted sources of information up on the screen that is relevant to all people. Doing so will instinctively build habits to get eyes on the screen more often.
NOTE: The information for the widgets in CommandCenterHD (CCHD) show Pittsburgh weather, date and time, as these are meant to be placeholders during content creation. Configuring your device(s) with the appropriate Location and Time Zone will bring in the proper information in playback.
