5 Use the Save As… command to keep your changes and select CSV as the file format.
NOTE:
BrightSign requires a comma-separated CSV file. If you’re outside the United States, check
the regional settings in Excel and make sure the list separator is a comma and the decimal
separator is a period. BrightSign requires a comma-separated CSV file with periods as the decimal
separator
(international defaults may vary).
Below is a section of the AUTOPLAY.CSV file from the BrightSign demo. Due to space limitations,
it does not include all the columns. The columns not shown here are similar to the 5 right-hand
columns, and they describe what happens when the user presses buttons or when a video
finishes or a slide times out.
