Clear and consistent player naming helps simplify management, troubleshooting and slideshow assignment across your property.
As the number of TVs grows, good naming conventions become increasingly important for maintaining an organized dashboard.
Recommended Naming Examples #
Room-Based Naming #
- Room 101
- Room 204
- Villa 3
Location-Based Naming #
- Reception TV
- Restaurant Main
- Lobby Display
- Spa Lounge
Why Good Naming Matters #
Clear naming helps staff quickly:
- Identify offline devices
- Assign slideshows correctly
- Troubleshoot connectivity issues
- Locate physical TVs
- Manage larger installations more efficiently
Names to Avoid #
Avoid unclear or generic names such as:
- TV1
- Screen
- Device A
- Player Final
- Test TV
Generic naming quickly becomes confusing when managing multiple players.
Best Practices for Larger Properties #
Larger hotels and resorts benefit from consistent naming structures.
Examples:
- Room-based numbering
- Building or villa grouping
- Department-based naming
- Location-specific labels
Tip:
When the dashboard eventually contains 80 devices, “TV1” becomes less of a name and more of a psychological attack.
