Getting started

Getting started

From a blank account to a live board in about ten minutes.

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 and image_url. Items start as Live (in the catalogue) but not on today’s board.

4. Brand it

Upload your logo. On Growth and above you can also set colours, fonts and a background photo. The preview shows your board on a phone and on a TV as you edit.

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.
