In this guide, you’ll find a complete walkthrough covering how to set up your access, organize your media library, and update playlists for all in-store TVs — so your displays always reflect your latest offerings.

Step 1: Setting Up Your YoDeck Access

Before diving in, complete the following quick setup steps:

  1. Log in using your work email or your designated YoDeck dashboard login.
  2. You’ll be added as a Directory User with the permissions needed to publish, edit, and manage media and playlists.
  3. Confirm your account is part of the Anthem Coffee Group before uploading any content — this keeps your files properly organized and visible to the correct players.

Step 2: Uploading Media Files to YoDeck

Video walkthrough available! Watch the tutorial below for a quick visual overview of the upload process.

How to Upload Media

  1. Log In: Access the YoDeck dashboard using your assigned work email.
  2. Navigate: In the left sidebar, click Media → All Media.
  3. Organize: Consistent folder structure is critical. Always follow this naming convention when uploading:
    Anthem Coffee and Tea → WA or AZ → Menu or Ads → [Month + Year] → [Your media files]
    Example: Anthem Coffee and Tea → WA → Menu → June 2025 → [images or PDFs]
  4. Upload Media: Open the correct monthly folder, then click Add Media to upload your image or PDF files directly into that folder.

Step 3: Updating Playlists for the Ads TV

Keeping your digital menu boards and advertisement playlists current is essential for delivering a polished, professional experience to every customer who walks through the door.

How to Update a Playlist

  1. In the left sidebar, click Playlists.
  2. Select the correct playlist for your location: WA/Ads or AZ/Ads.
  3. Switch to Folder view to browse your organized media library more easily.
  4. Navigate to Media Folder → Anthem Coffee and Tea → WA or AZ → Menu or Ads → [Month + Year].
  5. Select the latest menu or advertisement files for the current month.
  6. Preview your selection by clicking the plus (+) circle on any thumbnail to confirm you’ve chosen the correct content before adding it.
  7. Confirm your selection: Click the arrow button to add the chosen media to the active playlist.
  8. Save & Publish: Click Save, then push the updated playlist to your player(s).

💡 Pro Tip: There’s no need to manually adjust slide durations. Each slide defaults to a 5-second display time, keeping content moving at a comfortable, consistent pace.

Once saved and pushed, your updates will appear simultaneously across both single and dual TV setups — changes go live instantly at all locations with no delays or manual refreshes required.
