Scopes & Navigation

Scopes & Navigation

GoVista organizes everything around scopes. A scope is the part of your organization you're working in — and it controls which screens, content and settings you see. Understanding scopes makes the whole dashboard click into place.

The scope hierarchy

From broadest to narrowest, a scope can be:

• Brand — the top level. A brand holds all of your locations, screens, playlists and team members. Most work (content, playlists, schedules) happens at the brand level so it can be shared everywhere.
• Region, Country and City — geographic groupings of stores, useful for larger fleets; they let you view and target several locations at once.
• Store — a single physical location (e.g. "Downtown Mall"). Switch into a store to focus on just that location's screens.

Inside a store you can also organize screens into zones (e.g. "Entrance" or "Checkout"). A zone isn't a separate scope you switch into, but it is a targeting level for schedules and deployments.

Switching scope

Use the scope switcher at the top of the sidebar — it shows your current scope with a dropdown. Selecting a different brand or store instantly reloads the dashboard for it: the device list, content and analytics all follow your selection.

Why it matters

• Content and playlists created at the brand level are available to every store.
• Schedules and playlist assignments can target a brand, region, city, store, zone, tag or a single device — so the same content can be deployed broadly or narrowly.
• Your access is scoped too: what you can see and do depends on your role in that brand or store — see Users & Roles.
