πŸ“Ί What Is the TV Display?

The TV Display App is a read-only, public-facing CrewHero view designed to show:

  • Daily crew assignments
  • Crew members
  • Assigned vehicles and trailers
  • Important visual updates like out-of-service flags
  • Optional internal messages

It’s perfect for:

  • Shop floors
  • Dispatch areas
  • Breakrooms
  • Crew gathering spots each morning

πŸ”§ Recommended Hardware Setup

To run your display, you'll need:

πŸ–₯️ 1. TV or Monitor

  • We recommend a 55” screen or larger

πŸ’» 2. Stick Computer or Compact PC

  • Windows-based preferred (for keyboard shortcuts)

πŸ”Œ 3. Stable Internet Connection

  • Wi-Fi or hardwired
  • Ensure auto-login to avoid connection delays

πŸ‘€ Creating a Display-Only User

  1. Go to the People tab in Manager App
  1. Click β€œ+ Add Person”
  1. Name the user something like:
      • "Fleet Display"
      • "Company Name - TV"
      • "Shop Display"
  1. Set a generic email that can easily be accessed by the person logging into the display for OTP code.
  1. App Access: Only check βœ… Display App
  1. Save the user and log in as them from your display machine
This user will only see the TV Display and nothing else. Great for public or shared shop computers.

  1. Press Windows Key + L to:

      • Make the display easier to browse by crew member or team

πŸ› οΈ Display Features

  • πŸ’  Small Hex Button (Bottom Left) Use this to filter the display by:
    • Division
    • Crew name
    • Region
Useful if you're running multiple TVs for different areas or service lines.
  • πŸ” Real-time Updates The screen updates automatically β€” no need to refresh manually.

βž• Using Multiple Displays

If you run multiple crews, buildings, or service lines:

  • βœ… Create separate display users for each location
  • βœ… Set up a unique browser login session or device per screen
  • βœ… Use filters to only show specific Divisions or Crews
This keeps things clean, focused, and relevant for each team.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tips

  • Use a wall-mounted TV near time clocks, crew lockers, or garage bays
  • Set your computer to auto-boot into Chrome with your CrewHero Display tab
  • Use dark mode if your crew starts early in low light conditions
  • Refresh the login once a week for best performance (or if internet resets)

πŸ™Œ Final Thought

The CrewHero TV Display replaces the whiteboard β€” without the markers, magnets, or morning chaos.

It’s a visual anchor for your crews, and a sign of a professional, organized operation.
