A Element is a configurable block of digital signage content that can be added to a Page. Different types of Elements have different purposes.
| Element Type | Description |
| Media Library | A media library works like a slideshow, cycling through images and video in a group. A Media Library Element can cycle through many Media Libraries one after the other. |
| RSS Feed | When an RSS Feed URL is specified, this element displays the RSS feed text contents on a Page. |
| HTML | Insert HTML content straight onto your Page. From simple things like text and headings, to <iframes> hosting interactive applications. |
| Text | A rich-text element allowing for customisation of font, size, colour and alignment properties |
