2. Creating Sign Types

Going over how to create and organize Sign Types

VIDEO GOES HERE

Introduction

This lesson explains how to set up sign types when first configuring an organization in SignAgent

Sign Type Organization

• Sign types in SignAgent closely mirror the organization found in signage standards manuals
• Use folders to create basic categories for different types of signs

Create a Folder

• Use the wrench icon to create a new folder or sign type
• Right-click on a folder to create a subfolder or new sign type within it

Sign Type Components

• Each sign type typically includes a short code (e.g., A03) and a full name (e.g., bag claim ID)
• Consider grouping similar signs (e.g., different restroom signs) into one sign type for easier reporting

Creating a Sign Type

• Right-click on a folder and select "Create new sign type"
• Fill in basic information: name (e.g., safety plaque) and shortcode (e.g., A13)
• Optionally, change the color to match other signs or make it distinct
• Populate the rest of your sign standards and customize signs as needed

Homework

In this exercise, we will be practicing the skills we learned above.

• Create 3 new Sign Types
  
  • Sign Type 1
    Name: Room ID
    Short Code: RID
    Color: 722E41

• • Sign Type 2
    Name: Bathroom
    Short Code: BR
    Color: AF72BA
  • Sign Type 3
    Name: Parking
    Short Code: STR
    Color: BA3232
• Organize those sign types into folders and sub-folders:
• Building Name (main folder)
  • Interior (subfolder)
  • Exterior (subfolder)
