Events Tab
The Events tab is where you connect calendar feed sources and manage the tags used to organize event content on your displays.
Sources
Section titled “Sources”The Sources section lists all connected calendar feeds. Click Add Source to connect a new calendar.
BrandCast supports iCal feeds from any calendar application that publishes an .ics URL — including Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and most other calendar apps. The empty state message reads: “Add iCal feeds from Google Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app.”
To add a source, click Add Source, paste the iCal feed URL, and give it a name. Once connected, BrandCast syncs events automatically.
The Tags section below Sources lets you create and manage tags for your calendar sources. Click Add Tag to create a new tag.
Assign tags to calendar sources to control which events appear on specific displays or layouts — for example, showing only “Store Hours” events on lobby screens while showing the full schedule in break rooms.
Displaying Events on a Screen
Section titled “Displaying Events on a Screen”To put event content on a display, go to Content > Add New > Events. This opens an Add Events dialog with an Event Source dropdown listing the sources you’ve already connected here. Select a source, configure the view options, and finish the wizard.
Managing Multiple Sources
Section titled “Managing Multiple Sources”Connect as many calendar sources as you need. Each source can be edited or deleted from its card in the Sources list.
