  1. Before getting to work, select the correct zone. Each zone has its own unique set of bulletins that update independently within your channel. If you have multiple channel displays, those channels can share zones.

  2. Determine which zone you are working in from the drop-down menu on the Main Menu page. Scroll through the list to find the zone you want to edit.

  3. Select which function you would like to perform in your zone: Creating Bulletins, Managing Bulletins, Managing Templates, Managing Media.
