You can also use the BrightSign App to change the value of User Variables. User Variables have various uses in BrightAuthor presentations: You can display them on-screen like dynamic price tags, or you can use them as conditionals targets in a presentation (for example, by configuring the presentation to play a different video if the variable is equal to a certain value).

By default, the home page of the BrightSign App displays the Diagnostic Web Server. To change the values of User Variables, you will need to switch to the User Variables webpage by pressing the Image Added icon on the main page.

The title above a field reflects the name of the User Variable. The number in the field reflects the current value of the User Variable. To change the value of a User Variable, tap the field, enter a new value, then press Set Values. If you chose to Enable Update Notifications when setting up the player, the User Variables page will automatically refresh whenever a variable value changes.
