Property Management

Manage announcement boards across multiple buildings from one place.

Managing digital signage across multiple properties is complex. Atracast's multi-location management and condo board module lets you publish building-specific announcements or push system-wide notices across your entire portfolio - from one dashboard.

Atracast lobby screen for property management showing building notices and amenities

What property managers display

Every building. Every notice. One dashboard.

Maintenance Notices

Scheduled maintenance, elevator outages, water shutoffs - posted with an expiry date so they disappear automatically when the work is done.

Emergency Alerts

Push an urgent message to every building's lobby and elevator screens simultaneously within 30 seconds - no phone calls, no on-site visits.

Community Announcements

AGM dates, parking rule reminders, move-in/move-out schedules - posted to the specific building that needs it without bothering other properties.

Multi-Building Management

Portfolio admins see all buildings. Building admins see only theirs. Role-based access enforced at every API endpoint.

Auto-Expiring Notices

Set an end date on every announcement. It disappears from the screen automatically - no one logs in to clean up expired notices.

Branded Lobby Displays

Design branded background layouts in the slide designer and overlay announcement content - lobby screens that match the property's visual identity.

How property managers use it

A property management company with 12 buildings needs to notify all residents of a scheduled maintenance window. One announcement is created and pushed to all buildings' lobby screens simultaneously. Each building's own manager can still post building-specific notices independently.

A building administrator marks a notice "Urgent" and it appears on every lobby and elevator screen in that building within 30 seconds - without needing portfolio-level access. Role-based permissions mean each admin only sees what they need.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I manage announcement boards across multiple buildings?

Each building gets its own announcement board in Atracast. A portfolio-level admin can publish to all buildings simultaneously, while individual building admins can post independently to their own screens. All from a single dashboard login.

Can I push an emergency alert to every building at once?

Yes. Use the emergency push from the Devices dashboard to send an urgent alert to every screen across all buildings simultaneously. It preempts any scheduled content and appears within 30 seconds.

How does the urgency system work?

Each announcement has an urgency level: Info (blue), Warning (amber), or Urgent (red). The TV client renders a color-coded urgency bar on every announcement so residents can immediately identify the severity without reading the full notice.

Can announcements expire automatically?

Yes. Set an expiry date on any announcement and it disappears from all screens at that time - no one needs to log in to remove it. Maintenance notices, event reminders, and time-limited alerts clean themselves up automatically.

Can building admins manage their own screens without accessing other buildings?

Yes. Role-based access means each building admin only sees and manages their own building's screens and announcements. Portfolio-level admins see everything. Permissions are enforced at the API level.
