Change Client

This action moves all players in a Smart Group from one client to another.

Change DWS/SSH/LWS

Select this Smart Action to update the DWS, SSH, or LWS access credentials for all players in the Smart Group.

Enter only the information you wish to change, leaving all other fields blank.

Change Hostname

Select this Smart Action to update the Hostname for a group of players. All players in the Smart Group will be assigned the same Hostname.

Image Placeholder



Change Location

Use this Smart Action to update the location of all players in a Smart Group.

All players will be geolocated based on their IP addresses if the Location switch is set to Player.

If the Location switch is set to Zynchro, you can manually assign a previously created location, specifying the country, state, city, and location name for all players in the group.

Change Player Name

Select this Smart Action to bulk update the names of all players in the Smart Group. Every player in the group will be renamed identically.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Changing a player’s name can impact Smart Groups that use Player Name-based conditions. For example, if you rename all players in a Smart Group, the group will still appear in the Smart Groups list but will no longer contain any players. Likewise, if the new name matches a condition in another Smart Group, the renamed players will be added to that group.

Change Proxy

Select this Smart Action to add or update Proxy settings for all players in the Smart Group.

To enable Proxy, switch it to “Yes” and enter the Proxy IP or Hostname and Port in the corresponding fields.

You can also specify one or more Hostnames for the Proxy to bypass. Click the “Add” button to include each Hostname you want to exclude from Proxy routing.

Change TimeZone

Select this Smart Action to update the time zone for all players within a Smart Group.

Simply choose the desired time zone from the drop-down list and adjust the Time Server field if necessary. By default, Zynchro uses http://time.brightsignnetwork.com as its Time Server.

Content Server

Use this Smart Action to configure all players in the Smart Group as content servers by selecting Yes, or to disable their content server function by selecting No.

Format SD

Select this Smart Action to format the SD card of players in the Smart Group. SD cards will be formatted to exFAT.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Format SD Smart Action will only execute on players that have an Online Status and an Out-of-date Publish Status. The total count of impacted players is displayed at the bottom for your reference.
