Quick Overview
Concerto is a website that allows someone to put up pictures and words on screens. DMPS uses it so
schools and offices can post digital signage information across the district and within the buildings. New
content can be posted across multiple screens at one time and old content can be updated as needed.
Signing into Concerto

In a web browser, go to concerto.dmps.k12.ia.us.
In the upper left corner, you’ll see the link for “Sign In”.
Use the username and password provided for you. Your username
will be your district email. However, the password is NOT you email
password. It will be different from other passwords that you will have
for district uses.
Adding Content to Your Screens

Overview
Once you are logged in, you will see several options across the
top. To add content, click the “Add” button in the upper left
corner.
All content you add has similar settings:
 You will need to name the content.

 You can set when to start showing the content and
when it needs to disappear.
 You will also need to select the “feeds” meaning you
tell the content on which TV’s to be shown.
Once the content is ready, click on “Submit Content” to have it posted.
Setting Time Limit on Content

You can schedule content to start or end on a certain date.
Add a Feed
A “feed” tells the which TV’s to show the content, such
as the picture or text. Typically each building is one
feed, so you can select on feed labeled for the building,
i.e. “EAST HS” and all the TVs in the building will show
the same content.
When you add content, you’ll see feed at the bottom

left corner. Click on “Select a feed…” A list of feeds will
appear. Select the one appropriate to you.
You can search for one to help make the process

easier.
To Remove a Feed
This will not delete content, but tells the content to stop appearing on specific TVs.
To do this, click on the red minus symbol next to the feed.
To Add a picture / graphic
To add a picture / graphic specifically,

go the “Add” content of the website.
(See “Adding Content to Your Screens,
Overview” above.)
Across the top bar, select “Graphic”.
Click on “Choose File” and select the

picture you wish to add.
To Add Text
To add a picture / graphic specifically, go the

“Add” content of the website. (See “Adding
Content to Your Screens, Overview” above.)
Click on “Text” from the bar.
Select whether you want your text to show up in

the ticker or text areas.
The ‘ticker’ is the tiny bar that scrolls across the

edge of the screen. The ‘text’ will be the main
area in the screen.
In the large box, type your message.
Be sure to give a name and assign the feed.
Editing / Deleting Content

Content will automatically expire after two weeks. (See “Setting Time Limit on Content”.)
