SpinetiX ARYA allows you to embed individual Elementi projects in projects that you are working on from within SpinetiX ARYA. In this way, for example, you can add a widget initially created, customized, and connected to a data source in Elementi and then apply the final touch in SpinetiX ARYA for the perfect branded fit.

  1. Begin by logging in to your SpinetiX ARYA account and clicking CREATE.

    This filters for all Elementi projects uploaded to your SpinetiX ARYA account. In this case, we only have a single project - a Foreign Exchange Widget project.

  6. This creates a new layer in your canvas which you can now resize and reposition as you wish – set it to full-screen, or as part of a broader composition.

    In the below example, we place the Elementi project layer next to an RSS feed app that displays financial news.

    Tip: If the duration of the Elementi project you are embedding was not defined, by default, SpinetiX ARYA sets a duration of 1:00 minute for any page of a SpinetiX ARYA project which has a an Elementi project embedded within it. Of course, you can change this duration in SpinetiX ARYA, using the "Duration" field on the right.


    This is especially useful when you have a playlist or a video within the Elementi project that has a specific length and that you want to show in its entirety.
    Note: If the duration of your Elementi project was defined, SpinetiX ARYA will recognize that and automatically set the duration to correspond to the Elementi project's original duration when embedding or scheduling the project.

     
  7. Publish the content you created to your player to have it appear on your display following these instructions.
