What a Digital Signage Dashboard Is, and Who Runs One on Pickcel

A digital signage dashboard is a live business report, KPI view or project board shown on a shared screen instead of a laptop. Pickcel signs in to the dashboard on the screen's behalf, refreshes it on a schedule you set, and plays it alongside the rest of your signage content.

2 screens

per player

Nestlé Australia runs live Power BI and FourKites dashboards on BrightSign floor screens, signed in through Nestlé's SSO behind a strict corporate firewall. One BrightSign player drives two Samsung screens.

Mercedes-Benz had Pickcel installed on-premise at its Berlin office over temporary VPN access, on the Raspberry Pi players already there. The deployment carries internal communication.

The problem

Why a Dashboard on a TV Usually Stops Working

Dashboards built for a desk break on a wall screen in three places.

The sign-in expires.

BI tools end sessions after a set time and ask for a code when you sign back in. A TV has nobody to type it, so the screen sits on a login page until someone walks over with a keyboard.

The screen cannot reach the dashboard.

Internal dashboards live on an intranet or behind a firewall. A publish-to-web link would put business data on an open URL, and most IT teams refuse that.

The player cannot draw it.

Signage players run different browser engines. A Power BI report that loads on a laptop can fail on a media player, which is the wall Nestlé hit with BrightSign.

How it works

How Pickcel Gets a Dashboard Onto the Screen

01

Live on the floor

Live — Dashboard source ready…

The sign-in lives with Pickcel, not with the screen. You give a dashboard app the account details once, and Pickcel signs in again before the session expires, on an interval you set. Nobody logs back in on the TV.

Dashboards run inside Pickcel's digital signage software, so the same console schedules them, assigns or revokes each screen's access, and records uptime and playback history for every screen. When an auditor asks whether a safety board was on display last Tuesday, the log answers.

There are two ways to render. Live mode shows the real page as it changes and accepts touch. Snapshot mode captures the page at your refresh interval and runs on every Pickcel player, which matters when one building mixes Android, LG, Samsung and BrightSign screens.

Dashboard apps

Which Pickcel Dashboard App Fits Your Setup

Four dashboard apps cover most setups, and the right one depends on the source, the sign-in method and the player.

Need several dashboards on one touchscreen? Live rendering on Windows and Linux players lets viewers switch between dashboards and use each one's filters, with a touchscreen or other input device attached.

For IT

Sign-In, Network and Hosting: What Your IT Team Will Ask

Your IT team controls the account the screen signs in with, and the screen sees only what that account can see.

A dedicated display account.

Create a read-only account with access to the reports meant for the screen and nothing else. Pickcel turns its credentials into a sign-in token, so no one's personal, high-privilege login sits behind a wall screen.

Authenticator codes, yes. Push and SMS, no.

Pickcel generates the six-digit time-based code from the secret key you copy during 2FA setup. Push approvals, SMS codes and hardware keys need a person in the loop, so they need a different route, which the Pickcel team assesses with you.

Private dashboards stay private.

A player inside your network can render an intranet dashboard directly, so the dashboard never needs a public URL. IT checks routing, DNS, certificates and any VPN or proxy. A cloud-managed Pickcel account still needs its own approved connection out.

On-premise when the cloud is ruled out.

Pickcel also runs on your own servers. Snapshot dashboards and live custom-app dashboards both work on-premise; the dedicated Power BI and Tableau apps are cloud only. Pickcel is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.

Rollout

Start With One Dashboard, Then Roll It Out

Prove one dashboard on one real screen before you schedule it anywhere else.

Testing a dashboard on one screen in the Pickcel console before rollout
  1. 01

    Step 1: Share the setup.

    Send the dashboard URL, the sign-in method including any MFA or SSO, the player's operating system and where the screen sits on your network.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Test on a real screen.

    Check sign-in, refresh, session expiry and recovery after a reboot. On a touchscreen, test switching and filters too. If you're still choosing hardware, compare Pickcel's signage players against the app table above.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Roll out the approved view.

    Assign it to screens and agree the refresh settings. Show a “last updated” time where the dashboard supports one, so viewers know how fresh the numbers are. For what belongs on a shared screen, see which KPIs to put on workplace dashboard screens.

FAQ

Digital Signage Dashboard FAQs

Treat it as a user: the display account needs access to every report it shows, and Microsoft's licensing rules apply to it as they would to a person. The Power BI app reads reports from a shared or custom workspace, not My workspace, so move the reports there first. Confirm the licence type with your Power BI administrator before rollout.
As often as you set it. In snapshot mode you choose a refresh interval, and five to ten minutes suits most dashboards. Live mode shows the page as it changes. Either way, the screen is only as fresh as its source: if your Power BI dataset refreshes hourly, the screen shows hourly data.
Yes. The Dashboard Screen Mapper, a Chrome extension, lets you select the area of the page to display, so a screen shows the three tiles that matter instead of the whole report. For tall dashboards, turn on auto-scroll and the screen moves through the full page over time.
Yes. Place the dashboard app in one zone of a composition, Pickcel's multi-zone layout, next to announcements, a ticker or a clock. You can also schedule it by time of day, so a production board runs during shifts and company news plays during the break.
A password change needs a new sign-in token: update the credentials in the dashboard app and generate the token again. If the source itself is unreachable, the screen cannot refresh, so decide before rollout what viewers should see in that case and who on your team checks the screen.
Yes, and it is separate from how dashboards sign in. Your team can sign in to the Pickcel console through your identity provider, such as Okta, using SAML, OIDC or JWT. SSO is switched on per account by the Pickcel team, so ask your sales contact to enable it.
