Some Suggestions to Improve Carousel and Frontdoor
Hi Folks, I've been working with setting up permissions in Carousel, and I have some suggestions that I think would make Carousel a better product.
1)I think you should set up permissions a little differently on the dynamic bulletins. Why not break those down into discrete categories?... Because I want people to be able to put up RSS bulletins, but not interactive bulletins because our screens are not interactive.
2) Make it possible to set permissions to create and edit templates in my media and zone media. Right now the only way to do it is to give people access to the original templates or not, and I don't want every user altering the original templates on the zone.
3) You have got to do something to make it easier to save dynamic bulletin templates. It's crazy to have to do this on the server. This is the biggest flaw I have encountered with Carousel yet. Those dynamic bulletins take so long to set up, but they are so powerful. It is maddening to not have a simple way to share them.
4)Finally, please update the look of Frontdoor. I love your product, but it is hard to explain to people why it is so good, when they think it looks like websites from 1997. (Ugh that makes me feel old.)
Thanks,
Megan

I’m honest.

Inappropriate?I like these ideas, Megan.
Quite honestly, some of this stuff would require deep changes in Carousel, but all of it fits with what the product is really about. I will submit take your suggestions and make sure that they are reviewed and thought about. I can't tell you that they'll all end up in our product or when you'll see changes, but I can tell you that we'll take them seriously! :) -
Inappropriate?Thank for responding Andew. I appreciate you thinking about it. If you ever need feedback from your users I'm available. I've now spent a lot of time setting all of these systems up, and the more users we get, the more complicated it all becomes.I've been suggesting everyone go with standard size zones in order to make sharing content between departments on campus easier. Our newest digital signage customer, Transportation services, is really excited about the possibility of sharing content with the Library... And the Library likes the idea of sharing content across branches. Thanks!
I’m happy.
