Configuring dynamic signs

Dynamic signs are configured in Awesign's configuration file rather than by navigating to the sign's URL. In most cases, you can configure a simple sign instead, but dynamic signs are required for tab groups and sign cyclers

An example configuration looks like this:

dynamic_signs:
  - name: example_directory
    type: department_directory
    data:
      department: cse
  - name: example_room_reservations
    type: room_reservations
    data:
      building: some_building
      room_number: "123"
      department: cse

• name is a unique identifier for the dynamic sign. It should be URL-safe
• type is which sign template will be used. Valid options are specified as the "Dynamic sign type" in List of signs
• data is a dictionary with the fields required for the sign type. Each sign's required fields are specified in the "parameters" list in List of signs
• If you don't want to pass any parameters, use {}

You can load a dynamic sign on a display directly as described in List of signs.
