Reading a Room Door Display
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church · EventsWhat the display outside a parish room shows, and what the words mean.
You are a visitor or group leader. You stand at a room and look at the screen by the door. You do not need to sign in.
The display tells you if the room is in use now and what comes next. You do not need to find a printed schedule.
What you will do, in one sentence
Read the status card for the room now, then the list for the rest of the day.

1. Open the display
A parish staff member sets up the screen. The address ends with the code of the room: /events/signage/room/<code>. You do not sign in. The screen refreshes every 30 seconds.
To see a display on your own phone, scan the code at the door or use the address the parish office gives you.
2. Read the screen
| Part of the screen | What it means |
|---|---|
| Large title | The name of the room. If the room has no name, the title is its code. |
| In use now | An event is in the room now. The card shows the title and the start and end time. |
| Available | No event is in the room now. |
| List of times | The next events in the room, with their start times. |
| "No upcoming events scheduled." | The room has no more events today. |
| Reserved | A private event. The screen does not show its name. |
3. What can go wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "Loading…" stays on the screen | Refresh the page. Then tell the parish office. |
| The list looks old | The screen keeps the last good list when the network drops. Tell the parish office. |
| The screen shows a code, not a name | The room has no name in the system. Tell the parish office. |
