CurrentView

Getting started

Getting started

Set up CurrentView in ten minutes: create your business, add a location and items, upload a logo, and put your live board on a QR code, a TV and your site.

1. Create your account and business

Sign up at app.currentview.app/signup with an email address or a Google account. Name your business and pick a web address for your board (currentview.app/d/your-name). Choose it carefully: it goes on printed signs, so it never changes.

Pick what you sell — gelato, beer, pastries, dishes, products — and we seed categories and labels that fit (“Flavor of the Month”, “Kicked”, “86’d”…). Everything seeded is editable.

2. Add your first location

Every board belongs to a location. Give it a name, an address and a time zone — the time zone decides when sold-out flags reset each morning.

3. Add items

Add items by hand, or import a CSV with columns name, description, category, price, image_url and badge (a short seasonal label such as Fall, Summer, New or Limited, shown on the photo). Items start as Live (in the catalog) but not on today’s board.

4. Brand it

Upload your logo. On Growth and above you can also set colors, fonts and a background photo. The preview shows your board on a phone and on a TV as you edit. Pick a card style too: Tiles (round photo in a card), Scalloped (Tiles with a stamp-like edge on every photo), List (compact rows) or Circles (a big round photo on the page, name left and price right) — the live preview shows each one on your real board.

5. Go live

Turn on the public board in Settings, then grab your go-live kit: the board link, a QR code for each location, and the two-line website embed. Print a sign, point a TV at the link, and you’re live.
