In MealViewer, Blocks determine at what time and location menus are displayed on digital signage and also how menus will be grouped within Digital Suite. They are configured within MealViewer; however, you are able to establish Blocks within Edison to be sent over with your menus when syncing with MealViewer. You can assign the Blocks to menus in the Menu Templates screen.

  1. From the Advanced option, select MealViewer Blocks.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click in the cell next to the asterisk*.
  3. Enter the Block. When finished, select Save Changes.

titleEstablishing MealViewer Display Groups

If you need to create multiple MealViewer Display Groups, proceed to MealViewer Display Groups Mass Update.


Info

Display Groups are the result of the assignment of MealViewer Menu Groups to a line. When the Menu Group is attached to a line with other Menu Groups, it is then communicated to MealViewer that this is how your menus should be displayed on your digital signage.

  1. From the Admin & Maintenance tab, select Site & Categories, then select Sites.
  2. Select a site and then select Edit Site.

  3. Select the checkbox of the MealViewer Menu Group which is associated with each line. 

    Info

    In the example below, the Line 1 Display Group will show recipes from the All American Line and the Hot Line. The Line 2 Display Group will show recipes from the Asian Line and SouthWest Line. The Line 3 Display Group will show recipes from the Gluten-Free Bar, Salad Bar, and the Vegan bar. The Line 4 Display Group will show all recipes which have not been assigned a Menu Group.
