Showing the Currencies App on a Screen

How you get the Currencies app onto a screen depends on where you added it.

Via a Collection

If you added Currencies to a Collection, assign that Collection to a screen: open the Collection, select the Screens tab, click Connect a screen, then select the screen you want. See Assigning a Collection to a Screen for more.

Via a Layout

If you added Currencies directly to a Layout, apply that Layout to a screen instead: go to Screens, select the screen, open its settings panel, then set its Layout to the one containing your Currencies app. See Applying a Layout to a Screen for more.


Supported Layouts

The Currencies app can be added to the following zones:

FAQ

Will the Currencies app keep working if I go offline?

The app caches results for 10 minutes. If your screen goes offline, it will keep showing the most recent rates from within that window.

How many currencies can I show at once?

Up to 10 currencies per page. If you add more than that, the remaining currencies flow onto additional pages.

How long is the Currencies app shown for?

This depends on where you added it. In a Collection, it follows standard post timing, around 15 seconds. In a Layout, it displays for a fixed 12 seconds. See Adding Apps to Collections and Layouts for how display duration works across Collections and Layouts.
