Content for display bank

The Display bank preset option lets you create a template that matches your display bank configuration, based on an existing data list template. Content is divided into sections with predefined dimensions, and you can set the page order for each section to show different pages of the data list at the same time.

This tutorial follows up on Create a DISPLAY BANK, so you can add paginated content to your display bank screens.

In our example, we'll create a template for a display bank made up of 3 displays in a single row, each with a resolution of 1080x1920.
