Introduction

Starting with Elementi 2016, five sample projects are provided to help the user getting started with content creation. They all contain a master playlist looping through five layouts, each using a different source of data - for a total of 25 samples that exemplify different scenarios of digital signage content that can be used for clinics, health centers, company offices, conference centers, administration offices, call centers, schools, universities, campuses, sport and leisure centers, arenas, fitness gyms, tourist information centers, hotels, resorts etc.

The sample projects are automatically copied in projects's default location into a folder named "Sample Projects", just after Elementi installation. They are fully customizable and enable multi-layer rendering for a professional finish.
