Office TV: the leaderboard for the screen in the office

Signed in? Ask Lovelio this question inside the app - it answers from this same page.

Office TV is a full-screen leaderboard for the TV in the office. It shows who is billing, who has client interviews and how many contractors are out, and it stops to celebrate every placement with the consultant's face and their own song.

Find it at Settings > Company > Office TV. Only a System Admin can see or open it, because it holds the TV link and password. No permission switch opens it to another role.

How to put it on the TV

  1. Go to Settings > Company > Office TV.
  2. Click Copy beside TV link and open that link in the browser on the TV.
  3. Type the password from the Password row (click Show to read it) and click Open the TV.
  4. Click Sound on the TV once, so it can play songs.

The TV stays unlocked for a long time. It asks for the password again when the password is changed. Nobody needs a Lovelio user to open the TV: the link and the password are the whole key, so share them only with the people who set up the screen.

What the three screens show

The TV moves between the screens that are switched on, and each screen flips between two views.

  • Billings screen - Top 5 by billings, this month then this quarter, with the team total against target and the latest placements.
  • Client interviews screen - today's client interviews by consultant, then the week: client interviews per consultant per day, the week's submissions, client interviews, offers and placements, and placements this month.
  • Contractors screen - contractors out this week, this month and this quarter, temp to perm this quarter, contracts finishing in the next 4 weeks (and whether each was extended, went permanent or is finishing), who is starting this week, and the top 5 consultants.

The numbers are the same ones Lovelio shows everywhere else: billings follow your quota rules, contractor figures follow the contractor forecast. The TV refreshes by itself.

How to turn a screen on or off

Use the three switches on Settings > Company > Office TV. Each switch saves the moment you click it, and the Preview at the top of the page shows what the TV will show. With all three off, the TV shows your agency name and still celebrates placements.

Why is the Billings screen locked off?

The Billings switch is locked Off while any user type in your agency cannot see money. A TV on the wall is seen by everybody, so it never shows money that some of the team may not see. While it is locked, celebrations carry no fee and the Contractors screen ranks consultants by contractors out, not by GP. To unlock it, give every user type money access at Settings > Workspace > Permissions.

Turning the Billings screen off yourself does the same thing: no money appears anywhere on the TV.

How to change the password

Type a new password in the Password row and click Save changes. Use 6 to 64 characters. Every TV asks for the new password the next time it loads. The TV link itself does not change.

How a celebration works

When a placement is logged, a contract is extended or a contractor goes permanent, the TV stops what it is showing for about 15 seconds and celebrates: the consultant's photo, a line such as "Congrats Billy on placing Sarah M at Virgin", and how many placements that makes for them this month. If the consultant has a song, the TV plays it. If they do not, it plays a short chime.

The celebration leaves the screen after about 15 seconds whatever the Song length is. If the song is still playing, the top of the TV shows whose song it is until it stops. A new placement cuts in over a song that is still playing.

A TV that was switched off celebrates only what happened in the last few minutes; it does not replay the day.

How to set how long a song plays

Go to Settings > Company > Office TV and pick a Song length: 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or Whole song. It saves the moment you pick it and applies to everybody's song. It starts at 15 seconds. A song fades out when it reaches the length.

How a consultant picks their placement song

Go to Settings > You > Profile, find Office TV placement song and click Choose a song. You can play it back there, change it or remove it.

How an admin sets a song for anybody

A System Admin can set, change or remove anybody's song. Go to Settings > Company > Office TV and find Placement songs. Everybody is listed by name. Click Choose a song beside a person with no song, or Play, Change or Remove beside a person who has one. It is the same song the person sees on their own Profile, so either of you can change it.

Which files work as a song

Any audio or video file under 100 MB: MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, WMA, MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV. From a video, Lovelio keeps the sound only. A song longer than 10 minutes is cut at 10 minutes. A link to a streaming service does not work; it has to be a file.

If Lovelio says "That file would not play", the file has no sound in it or is damaged. Try another file.

Why is the TV silent?

Browsers do not let a page play sound until somebody has clicked on it. Click Sound on the TV once after it loads. If the TV's browser is reloaded, click it again.
