An Organization is the highest-level entity within Gumband. This is typically your company, business unit, or specific team name. Within your Organization, you can create any number of Sites to hold Exhibits and Hardware. A Site is generally the physical location where Exhibits are installed, such as different cities, building locations, or floors.

Permissions are more granular at the Exhibit level. Users can be given read and write permissions for each status, control, and setting. This is especially useful when wanting to share Exhibit information (such as health or metricsanalytics), but prevent users from accidentally modifying mission-critical settings.

Each exhibit has Some exhibits have an operating mode (on operating or offstandby). This is useful for day-to-day operation, maintenance, and support in turning off screens and disabling interactivity for exhibits. The operating mode status is displayed by the switch first setting on the left of the Exhibit name and connection status:
...
Exhibit on: if the toggle is to the right and orange

Settings page:

Operating: if the toggle is to the left and gray
There is also a quick indicator in the left sidebar that contains the exhibit list.
Exhibit on: the indicator checked and the icon is a green lightning bolt
Exhibit off: the indicator is a red Standby: if the toggle is unchecked and the icon is an orange crossed-out lighting bolt
Gumband also allows specific Controls and Settings to be available depending on the current operating mode; this is defined by the exhibit developer in the Exhibit Manifest. By default, Settings and Controls are only editable when operating mode is disabled — notice in the screenshots below how the “Reload” button is only available when the operating mode is set to off.

Not all exhibits necessarily take advantage of this feature. If a setting or control is disabled in both operating modes, this may be limited by your user permissions for that exhibit. |

Statuses Showing Hyperlinks
Statuses can be used to display links to helpful resources, file servers, and email addresses, even a website hosted by the exhibit. Make sure the URL to be shown has the appropriate protocol prefix, such as http:// or https://, ftp://, mailto:, etc.
Statuses can also display multi-line content by using \n, which converts to line-breaks.
