Get Connected

In order to access your Local content management system, your Split Flap must be connected to the internet. We strongly recommend an ethernet connection for stable access to your webapp.

When your sign is connected & powered on, you’ll need to type the Split Flap’s IP address into your browser search bar to get to the Local webapp.

Installation

If you’re sign is not yet installed and connected to a stable network, you won’t be able to access your Local webapp.

You’ll find all of our team’s detailed installation documentation and recommendations over on our main Split Flap Help Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access my Local webapp?

Your laptop or device needs to be connected to the same network as the Split Flap display. When you power on or reboot your sign, it will display its IP address to connect. Otherwise, you’ll need to access the devices on your network to identify the Split Flap’s IP address for access. Then enter the IP address into your web browser to access the Local webapp.

Can I connect remotely?

To access the Local webapp, your device needs to be on the same network as the Split Flap. If you need to connect to your sign remotely, you’ll need to setup a VPN (or similar). We recommend upgrading to Portal for remote access to your Split Flap.

Can I add more users?

Yes, if you’re an admin on your account, you can add more users. Click on the red person icon in the top right. Select “Manage Users” then click “Add a new user” and select their desired settings.

Creating New Content

Once logged in, go to the “Create” page to start designing new content.

Set timing durations and animations.

Use the alignment buttons on the menu to left, right, or center align your text. Click on the color palette icon to access any colors and/or custom flaps you have on your Split Flap.

Add as many Pages as you want to create one Message. Don’t forget to give your message a name and Save.

Build a Schedule

We recommend building out a schedule of messages so that your Split Flap is running with new content when you want it to be. Pair content to start exactly when your events are starting.

Conserve power by not running any messages while your business isn’t open.

Using Apps

Access live data by clicking on the puzzle piece icon.

If you have a custom app built specifically for your sign, ask your Split Flap admin or reach our to our team for the custom app documentation.
