Use this guide when you want to display digital flip-book content from DCatalog—such as catalogs, magazines, brochures, or training materials—on your Displai screens. DCatalog is a digital publishing platform that creates HTML5 flip-books to increase brand awareness and online sales.

  1. Log in to your DCatalog dashboard.
  2. Scroll to the “My Editions” section.
  3. Click the icon under “Links” for the edition you want to display.
  4. Find the HTML5 Link in the dialog.
  5. Copy the alphanumeric code at the end of the URL—this is your Doc ID.
  1. Open your Displai dashboard and create a new presentation.
  2. Select the DCatalog app from the available apps.
  3. Paste your Doc ID from DCatalog into the Doc ID field.
  4. Set the duration for your DCatalog presentation (default is 30 seconds).
  5. Click “Save” and then “Done.”
  6. Create or edit a playlist and add your DCatalog presentation to it.
  7. Publish the playlist to your screen.

Your DCatalog content should now display on your screen according to the duration you set. The flip-book will cycle through the playlist rotation you configured.
