Would you be watching screens and channels for a long time when you assume that they are just showing old content on their digital signage television screens? Probably not. People want to see real-time data, accurate information, the latest key performance indicators (KPI), hot news, actual weather information, and so on. Without real-time data, digital signage does not make much sense. You can still display your shoes in your shop till the end of the season when it comes to advertising. But in most non-advertising environments, people look at data and info, and that definitely needs to be up-to-date.
An advertising video on a screen is a good example of traditional static screens. You start it now, and after one week, or at the end of the summer season, it is still the same video or promotion that you are showing. Data-driven digital signage is data that is shown in real-time on screens.
Without data connectivity, you would have to update your content on the screens, every time that there is a data update, and redistribute it again. Imagine a data center, where they show the total number of callers in the waiting queue. Each time that a person is taken out of the queue, you would have to re-render your screen content. Every time that a person calls in, and is added to the queue, you would have to re-render the screen content again. You see what is needed here; you need to be able to connect your screens to your data, so that, you can show updated database content directly on your screens. That is real-time data.

Do you want to insert a cross mark, which is also called an X mark, in your slides? Very often, this symbol indicates a task is canceled or a concept is negated or no longer applicable. You may want to add this symbol as part of your regular text in text placeholders and boxes, shapes, tables, and even charts. Fortunately, it is very easy to complete this task in most versions of PowerPoint, including PowerPoint for the Web. There may be slight differences, depending upon whether you are using PowerPoint for the Web in a Windows or a Mac environment, and also upon which browser you are using. Even with these differences, the process is very similar. Using one of these options, you will be able to add a cross mark or X mark in PowerPoint for the Web.
