Built for complex workflows

Design once. Reuse anywhere.

Move layouts between accounts and instances by copying and pasting them as JSON. firmChannel automatically validates media references and provides placeholders when assets are missing.

This is especially useful for resellers and partners standardizing layouts across multiple customer accounts.

Learn more about the Layout Designer

What is the Layout Designer?

The Layout Designer is where you build the content that plays on screen. You place and style widgets on a canvas, pull in media, add animations, and save the result as a layout you can deploy to any player on any customer account.

Can I reuse a layout across customer accounts?

Yes. Layouts move between accounts and instances by copying and pasting them as JSON, which is how resellers and partners standardize a look across multiple customers without rebuilding the same layout each time.

What happens if media is missing when I move a layout?

firmChannel validates media references as the layout comes in and drops a placeholder wherever an asset is not available in the destination account. The structure and styling stay intact, so you only need to swap the placeholders for the right assets.

Can I go back to an earlier version of a layout?

Yes. Version Tracking keeps your previously saved versions, so you can experiment freely and restore an earlier version whenever a change does not work out.

Where can I pull content from while designing?

Cloud media navigation lets you browse and assign content from your firmChannel Library, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Canva without leaving the designer.
