What is MosaicONE
MosaicONE is a cloud-based software that allows the user to update and manage any networked device from MAD or DMG via a web browser. The theme designer allows you to create or modify displays whenever and wherever you want! You can do it all by yourself or delegate the responsibility to other users.
• News, Stocks & RSS feeds
• Time & Weather
• Pictures & Video
• HTML Content
• Position Indicator
• Per-Floor Messaging
• Scheduling
• Fully Customizable
Permissions
The creation, configuration, management of themes and devices in this cloud is strictly linked to the type of permissions associated with the user. The table below shows 3 different types of users with different permissions that DMG, in agreement with the client, can issue when shipping out the order.
During the ordering phase, DMG will create access only for BUILDING MANAGERS.
All actions, based on permissions, are always related to the Company of belonging (for example, a DMG Building Manager will be able to create users, buildings, devices, and themes only and exclusively for their company).
Visibility is also limited by company.

A) – End user
B) – Device manager
C) – Building manager
D) – Main admin (customer)
A) END USER
This is the role with the most basic permissions. An END USER will only have access to managing device graphics, e.g. replacing graphics, multimedia content, installation information, and the like.
B) DEVICE MANAGER
This type of user has fewer privileges than a Building Manager. The DEVICE MANAGER is the person who will physically operate on the device, only if previously authorized by the Building Manager. They will not be able to create or delete devices. Building Managers can create graphics, but not delete them. They will be able to make changes or launch the software update of the devices and create rules for the operation of the devices. They will not be able to create or delete users.
C) BUILDING MANAGER
The role of BUILDING MANAGER is assigned exclusively by the ADMINISTRATOR. He will be the one to manage the buildings and/or devices. In addition to having complete management of buildings (except for creating and deleting them), groups, devices, and graphics, a BUILDING MANAGER can create or delete users and assign them the appropriate permissions for their purposes. Only users from the company owning the devices will have access to these contents in the cloud.
D) ADMINISTRATOR
THE ADMINISTRATOR is the user with the highest level of permissions. It is created during the order phase and associated with the person responsible for one or more orders. THE ADMINISTRATOR will create the buildings, to which the devices will then be connected, and which will be assigned to one or more BUILDING MANAGERS.
Organization users
By clicking on “ORGANIZATION” in the main menu on the left, and then clicking on the submenu “USERS”, it is possible to view the name, email address, and phone number of the people who have been assigned access to the system.

Creating a new theme: areas & options
Once the name of the theme with its basic settings has been created, the actual composition window opens to show what will appear on the device’s screen.
In the following image, you see the screen of an existing theme that was created starting from DEVICE TYPE set to GENERIC, and not selecting POSITION INDICATOR.
1) – Basic commands (ex. undo, re-do, zoom in, zoom out, save, publish).
2) – Settings & fonts
The settings symbol opens the pop-up window that you see on the left and allows you to make changes to the basic parameters of the display, such as name, horizontal/vertical orientation, screen dimensions.
The fonts symbol opens a pop-up window that allows you to upload a custom font or view the list of previously uploaded custom fonts.
3) – Areas (background and any other area with a specific content type).
4) – Content (the name of the file assigned to an area).
5) – Add area (the + symbol adds a new AREA to the device, the comment symbol adds a FLOOR MESSAGE to which an image can be associated, to be displayed at a specific floor).
6) – Add content (from left to right: text, image, video, date/time, clock, news, weather, traffic, stock quotes, graphics, HTML.).
7) – Area properties ((For each selected area, it allows you to modify these parameters).
8) – Content properties (For each individual selected area, it allows you to modify these parameters).
As shown in the image above, you need to SELECT AN AREA from the left menu to see it selected also within the visible area and therefore access the changes in the various menus on the left and right of the screen. From the AREA PROPERTIES section (top right), you can also decide whether an area will be visible on the device or not. The properties that can be modified vary depending on the type of content assigned to an area.
This image, on the other hand, shows the starting screen by selecting the POSITION INDICATOR box from the CREATE THEME screen.
It’s just a starting example; all predefined areas can be modified.
Creating a new theme: Let’s get started
When a new theme is created for the first time, the visible space of the device will be empty except for the ‘BACKGROUND’ area, which appears blue by default.
You can modify the NAME, the background COLOR and other attributes from the menu AREA PROPERTIES on the right side of your screen.
ADDING A NEW AREA is the first thing to do.
By clicking on the +, a box named ‘AREA-1’ is created. Each subsequent area will be assigned a progressive number by default. The names of the areas can be modified from the right menu, AREA PROPERTIES, by selecting each individual area.
Now that the area has been created, we can proceed to insert the desired CONTENT TYPE from the top menu
