Servers (Environments)
In Bohemica Signage, a Server is a separate environment, tied to a region, with its own displays, content, and billing. If your organization works across regions, you can have more than one server, and they stay completely separate from one another. This article explains what servers are, how to create and rename them, and how to move between them.
Info
Creating and renaming servers is available to Organization admins only. If you don't see the buttons described below on the Settings page, your account isn't an Organization admin. See Departments, Users & Roles to learn more about roles.
What is a server?
Think of a server as a self-contained workspace for your signage. Each server:
- Is tied to a single region.
- Has its own displays and content.
- Has its own billing.
- Does not share data with your other servers.
One account can have access to more than one server. When that's the case, you choose which server to use as you sign in. See Signing In for how that works.
Create a new server
You'll find these controls on the Settings page, alongside Account settings and Organization settings.
Open Settings.
Click Create new server.
In the Server name field, type a name (at least 3 characters).
Open the Preferred region dropdown and choose where the server should live. You can pick from:
Region Notes Europe Selected by default USA - east USA - west Click the Create new server button to confirm.
💡
A new server doesn't become selectable right away. Sign out and sign back in, then pick the new server during sign-in.
If the region isn't available yet
Sometimes the region you chose doesn't have capacity at that moment, and the server can't be created right away.
This isn't a problem with your account or anything you did. Bohemica will email you when the region is ready. You don't need to do anything else in the meantime.
Rename a server
Renaming applies to the server you're currently signed in to. If you want to rename a different server, sign out and sign back in to that one first (see Signing In).
- Open Settings.
- Click Change server name.
- The field is pre-filled with the current name. Edit it (at least 4 characters).
- Click Save.
Switch between servers
You choose your server while signing in, not from inside the dashboard.
- Sign out, or start signing in.
- If you have access to more than one server, select the one you want to use during sign-in.
For step-by-step details, see Signing In.
