Change Background Image¶

Since version 0.1.0, Confire Cloud allows you to upload and distribute custom background images (Landing Pages) to one or more EZCast Pro devices directly from the Devices page.

Previously, background images could be changed using one of two methods:

• Device Web Settings: Each device's background image had to be changed individually through its built-in web interface, making the process time-consuming when managing multiple devices.
• Confire Cloud Templates: Background images could be distributed to multiple devices using templates. However, the image file had to be hosted on an externally accessible web server and specified with URL.

With version 0.1.0, Confire Cloud introduces integrated image uploading and storage, eliminating the need for external image hosting.

Administrators can now upload an image directly to Confire Cloud, where it is stored centrally and made available to all Agents. Saved images can then be selected and distributed to one or multiple devices, either directly from the Devices page or through Mass Deployment Templates.

The existing URL option remains available in Mass Deployment Templates, allowing administrators to continue using externally hosted images if preferred.

Selecting devices and opening the image window¶

• Open the Devices page.

• Select one or more devices whose background images you want to change.

  

• Click the three dots at the top right and select Change Background Image:

The Change Background Image window opens, offering two options:

• New Image – Upload a new background image from your computer.
• Saved Images – Select an image previously uploaded to Confire Cloud.

Choose the appropriate option depending on whether you want to upload a new image or reuse an existing one.

Uploading a new background image¶

• Select the New Image tab if it is not already selected.

• Click Select Image to browse for an image file on your computer.

The following image specifications apply:

• Select the desired image file and confirm your selection.

  

  

• A preview of the selected image appears.

  

• The filename is automatically entered in the Name field. You can change it if required.

• Click Apply to upload the image and start distributing it to the selected devices.

The uploaded image is stored centrally in Confire Cloud and becomes available for future use without having to upload it again.

Using saved images¶

Previously uploaded images can be reused whenever you want to change the background of one or more devices.

• Open Change Background Image and select the Saved Images tab.
• Browse the available images and click the image you want to use.
• Click Apply to distribute the selected image to the devices.

If several images are stored, use the navigation arrows at the bottom of the window to browse additional pages.

Managing Saved Images¶

Confire Cloud provides basic image management directly within the Saved Images tab.

Rename Images

You can rename previously uploaded images directly in Confire Cloud.

• Under Saved Images, select the image you want to rename.
• Edit the filename in the Name field at the bottom of the window.
• Click the Save Name icon to save your changes.

The updated filename will appear in the Saved Images list. The image itself remains unchanged.

Delete Images

Images that are no longer required can be removed from Confire Cloud.

• Open the Saved Images tab.
• Locate the image you want to delete.
• Click the red Delete icon next to the image.

Note: Deleting a saved image removes it from Confire Cloud's image library. Make sure the image is no longer needed before deleting it.

Background Images in Mass Deployment Templates¶

Background images can also be distributed to multiple devices using Mass Deployment Templates.

Previously, this required the image file to be hosted on an externally accessible web server, with its URL specified in the template.

Since Confire Cloud version 0.1.0, you can alternatively select an image directly from Confire Cloud, eliminating the need for external image hosting.

Select Background Image in Templates¶

• Open Templates and create or edit a template.

• Navigate to Admin Settings and enable My Screen.

  

• Select the Image tab. one of the following options:

  

• Browse to your image file via the Image 1 tab, optionally, Image 2 if change QuattroPod background images.

• Click Save to confirm your selection.

The selected background images become part of the template and can be distributed to multiple devices using the existing Mass Deployment functionality.

Note: Both methods remain supported. You can continue using the externally hosted image URLs or take advantage of the integrated image storage in Confire Cloud.
