TL;DR summary
- Geographic screen structure is live in PLAYipp, organizing your screens automatically based on their registered addresses.
- No more manual setup or upkeep: the structure updates itself as you add new screens.
- Use tags for anything that isn’t location-based (Reception, Campaign, Internal, etc.).
On August 18, we launched geographic screen structure in PLAYipp: a new way to organize your screens automatically, built directly from the addresses already registered on them. No manual setup, no upkeep, just a clear, accurate overview from the moment it’s live.
What’s changing?
Instead of you manually building sections and locations, PLAYipp now organizes your screens automatically, based on the address already registered on each one. The structure is built in four clear levels: country, county, city and address. This means that what you see always reflects reality, with no room for a screen to end up filed in the wrong place by mistake.
Add a screen in a city you haven’t used before? PLAYipp creates that city in the structure the moment the address is registered. The overview stays accurate and current, whether you have ten screens or a thousand.
We asked Catarina, PLAYipp’s UX Lead, why this is a game-changer:
“The old structure depended on someone getting it right and keeping it right, which meant small mistakes crept in over time. The geographic structure removes that risk entirely. It’s built straight from your screens’ addresses, so what you see is always an accurate picture of your screen network.”

What this means for you
- Because the geographic screen structure is built from your screens’ actual addresses, the overview is accurate by design.
- The geographic screen structure scales without extra effort. Ten screens or a thousand, across one site or many, the structure keeps up automatically.
- Tags handle everything that isn’t about location. Need to group screens by type or audience, such as Reception, Campaign or Internal? That’s what tags are for. Combine them with the geographic structure for even more precise publishing down the line.
- Addresses matter more than ever. The structure is built entirely from your screens’ address data. Screens without a complete address won’t be placed in the structure, they’ll sit in a separate section until that’s fixed.

Common questions about the geographic screen structure
Can I still use the old tree structure?
We recommend that you start using the geographic structure as soon as it’s in place, so you get the full benefit right away. The current way of working with the tree structure will remain available as an option in the product until the end of December 2026, after which it will be removed.
What happens to a screen that doesn’t have a complete address?
It won’t be placed in the geographic structure. Instead, it lands in a separate section until you add a full address for it, so it’s worth checking if you have complete addresses for all your screens.
Can I still group screens by type or audience instead of location?
Yes, that’s exactly what tags are for. Label screens with keywords like Reception, Internal, or Campaign, and a screen can carry multiple tags at once. This works alongside the geographic structure without duplicating it, and tags can later be combined with location for more precise publishing.
