# \[Progic\] How to Use the Birthday Media
## From registration to display: the complete guide to creating birthday content sections and automating birthday celebrations on your Corporate TV.
Birthday Media allows you to showcase employee birthdays automatically on your Corporate TV. To use this feature, you need to:
1. Create a Birthday Section where employee information will be stored.
2. Add birthday records manually or through an Excel spreadsheet.
3. Link the section to a Birthday Template in Creative.
4. Publish the template in a Playlist or Campaign.
### Create a Birthday Section
The Birthday Section is where you will store employee information, such as names, birth dates, and photos.
#### Configure the section type
Go to **Content \> Sections \> + Add Section** and select **Internal Section**.
Under **Section Type**, choose **Manual Entry** and click **Continue**.
Complete the general information
Enter the **Section Name**, select the **Groups** that will have access to the section, and click **Continue**.
#### Configure text fields
Select the text fields that will be available for content creation and later displayed in the Birthday Template.
Typically, only the **Title** and **Text** fields are used. Be sure to review the character limit settings for each field.
Click **Continue**.
#### Configure images
Set the image size using the **Width** and **Height** fields.
If desired, you can also configure:
- **Circular Crop** to display photos in a circular format.
- **Rectangle Angle (%)** to create rounded corners.
> Rounded corners cannot be used together with the Circular Crop option.
Click **Save**.
After saving, you will be redirected to the **Internal Section Editing** screen, where birthday entries can be added.
### Ways to register birthdays
Birthdays can be registered in two different ways:
- Directly in Manager.
- By importing an Excel spreadsheet.
### Register Birthdays Directly in Manager
Click **Add Post**.
In the window that opens:
- Enter the birthday date in the **Title** field.
- Enter the employee's name in the **Text** field.
- Upload the employee's photo in **Choose Image**.
Optionally, you can configure:
- **Start Date**, which determines when the birthday content begins to appear.
- **End Date**, which determines when it stops appearing.
- **Group**, which defines who can view the content.
Click **Save** to complete the registration.
Repeat this process for each employee.

### Register Birthdays Using an Excel Spreadsheet Download the spreadsheet template
Inside the section, click **Import** and then **Spreadsheet Template**.
Each row in the spreadsheet represents one birthday entry.
Complete the spreadsheet
#### ID
The **ID** field can be left blank, as it will be managed automatically by Manager.
If you are editing existing entries, do not modify this field.
#### Delete
Use the **Delete** field to remove existing entries:
- **YES**: the entry will be deleted during import.
- **NO** or blank: the entry will remain or be imported normally.
#### Title
In the **Title** column, enter the birthday date.
Before filling in this column, change its format to **Text** to avoid compatibility issues caused by Excel's date formatting.
Examples:
- 04/20/1996
- 04/20/96
- 04/20
#### Text
In the **Text** column, enter the employee's name.
#### Source
The **Source** field is optional and is not displayed in the Birthday Template.
#### Image
Insert employee photos into the **Image** column.
Before adding images, disable Excel's automatic image compression:
**File \> Options \> Advanced \> Image Size and Quality \> Do not compress images in file**
> This setting must be enabled every time you create or edit a spreadsheet containing images.
After inserting the photos, you may resize them to fit within the cells without affecting their original quality.
### Import the spreadsheet
After completing and saving the file:
- Click **Import**.
- Select **+ File**.
- Choose the spreadsheet.
- Select the **Groups** that will have access to the content.
- Click **Upload File**.
All birthday entries will be added to the section automatically.

- **Institutional Templates \> Birthday Templates**

- Enable the **Sections** panel and use the replace section icon to swap Progic's sample section with the Birthday Section you created.
- After confirming the change, the template will automatically display the data from your section.
- Save and publish
- Enter a name for the template and click **Save and Close**.
- Then add the template to a **Playlist** or **Campaign** to start displaying birthday content on your Corporate TV.
