Split the screen into two zones (side-by-side)

Two-column content shows two areas side by side on one screen — for example, a menu on the left and a promo video on the right, or news on one side and a price list on the other. Each column runs its own rotating carousel of files.

What you can configure

Create a two-column item, then fill the left and right zones separately — each zone holds one or more files that cycle on their own timer.

Left and right content — one or more files per side.
Slide delay per side — how long each file shows (independent left/right; default 5 s).
Width split — how much of the screen each side takes (default 50/50; you can set 60/40, 70/30…).
Any screen — the layout adapts automatically to the screen's resolution and to portrait or landscape.

Total duration — how long the whole item plays in a playlist (default 10 s).

How to create it

Two-column content is built from the built-in Two Columns template — there isn't a separate "two-column" file type to upload.

Easiest — ask the AI assistant. Describe the two sides in plain language, for example:

"Create a two-column item: left column = menu.jpg and specials.jpg, right column = promo.mp4. Make the left side 60% wide with 8-second slides."

The assistant uploads any files you attach and builds the item — setting your left/right content, each side's slide delay, the width split, and the total duration.

Or use the template yourself:

In the content library, click CREATE NEW CONTENT.
In the Add content dialog, scroll to Templates and choose Two columns. The template editor opens.
The Two columns template editor
Under leftContent, click + ADD ITEM and pick the files for the left side; do the same under rightContent for the right side.
Set Left delay between content and Right delay between content — how long each file shows on that side (seconds).
Set Left side width (%) — how much of the screen the left column takes (e.g. 60 for 60/40).
Set Duration on screen — how long the whole item plays in a playlist.
Optionally set Show from / Show until under Availability, then click CREATE.

Or ask the assistant to build it. Describe what goes on the left and right (and the split, e.g. 60/40) and it creates the two‑column item for you.

See Templates for more on filling in template fields.

Once created, it appears in your library and behaves like any other content item — add it to a playlist, set dates, or assign categories.

Typical uses

Café: menu board (left, wider) + ambient promo (right).
Reception: welcome/branding (left) + live notices (right).
Retail: product images (left) + price list (right).

Tips

Put the content that needs more reading space in the wider column.
Match each column's slide delay to how much text it holds — denser slides need longer.
As with any content, you can restrict it to a date window and add it to categories.
