The Weather Forecast widget puts live weather on your digital signage screens. It shows today's temperature and a short forecast for the city you choose. This guide adds the weather widget from a template, then sets its location and temperature units.
How to use the weather widget
Step 1: Open the weather widget
On the left side of the editor toolbar, click the Weather Forecast button (1). Its icon is a sun behind a cloud. A panel opens with the weather widget templates.
Step 2: Choose a weather widget template
The Weather Forecast panel lists three templates in the Basic category. They are Black/Red/White, White/Blue and Blue/Transparent. Double-click a template, for example White/Blue (1), to add it to your page. You can also look for a template in the Search template field.
Step 3: The weather widget on the page
The new weather widget is added to the page and stays selected (1). We made it bigger and centred it on the page. This way the five forecast days have room on the digital signage screen.
Step 4: Open the weather widget settings
Click the settings icon in the top toolbar (1). It is the dotted square with a gear. The PARAMETERS tab of the weather widget opens.
Step 5: Weather location settings
The settings start with Weather Location (2). Choose the country in Country and the city in City. This template starts with Israel and Haifa.
Step 6: Choose another city
Open the City list and pick your city. In this example we chose Jerusalem (1). The City list changes with the country you pick in Country. On the canvas, the weather widget keeps showing sample values after the change.
Step 7: Temperature units
Choose the units in the Temperature Units list (1). The options are Metric / Celsius, Imperial / Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Below it you can also set colours and the font. Scroll down the panel for more settings.
