Interactivity
Overview
In addition to static control of displays through an IS-SPX Player, Inspired Signage XPress allows interactivity between
the device and an end user. With the use of AMX touch screens and other touch-enabled displays, you can create
interactive banners, menus, and other presentations that encourage user involvement.

Creating Interactive Content

Creating interactive content through XPress, such as creating a menu or controlling displayed media, uses a combination
of JavaScript programming and the use of templates designed for this purpose. These templates are available at
www.amx.com. Creating interactive content for the IS-SPX Player requires configuring the device to allow enabling
events and configuration of touch screens.

Open the Interactivity folder in the My Templates tab of the Workspace pane to view the individual files. These files
