Changing User Variables
You can also use the BrightSign App to change the value
of User Variables. User Variables have various uses in
BrightAuthor presentations: You can display them on
screen like dynamic price tags, or you can use them
as
in a presentation (for example, by
configuring the presentation to play a different video if the
variable is equal to a certain value).
