Rename a Screen and Assign Content

Use the updateDevice mutation to rename a paired screen or assign an asset/playlist.

​

Example:

mutation {
  updateDevice(
    _id: "SCREEN_ID",
    payload: {
      deviceName: "New Screen Name",
      currentType: ASSET,
      currentAssetId: "ASSET_ID",
      orientation: LANDSCAPE
    }
  ) {
    _id
    deviceName
    currentType
    currentAssetId
  }
}

​

Steps:

1. Replace SCREEN_ID with the screen’s unique ID.
2. Replace ASSET_ID with the ID of the asset/playlist to assign.
3. Update other fields as needed (e.g., deviceName, orientation).
