¶ Customization Guideline for the Marriott GRE1 theme
This guide provide you with some help on how you can modify the Marriott GRE1 Theme for your specific need.
¶ About the theme
The Marriott GRE1 theme applies to all brands within Marriott unless something else is specified. It has the same layout for all brands. The only brand specific adoption is the background image and the brand logo.
Make sure the menu items on the main page are not changed. The name and order of the items should be:
- Television
- Channel Guide
- Internet TV
- Hotel Services
- Connect My Device (Optional)
- Check Out | View Bill (Optional)
- Settings
IMPORTANT NOTE 1: Some of the images in the following contains different main menu item names and order. Please disregard this and stay to the names and order above.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: The Samsung Orsay screens requires some special considerations when it comes to the background on pages that contain embedded video. With the default CSS configuration, the video window will not be visible on Orsay screens. If you plan to set the theme up on an Orsay, contact Support for guidance.

- Settings Sub Menu
- System Language Selection
- Step ¼ - Guest Selection (CheckOut)
- Message Inbox

The video is normally played from a Site Agent. When the video has been synced to this Site Agent, press the "Select video" button shown in the image below. A video ID will show in the url window and the actual file name will be shown below.
Repeat this exercise on the video element on all the pages mentioned above.
¶ Configure menu elements
All the menu items in the menu pages are defined in data sources.
To check which data source that is linked to each page, click menu elements, select the "Settings" pane. Here you can see the name of the data source.
To edit the data source, click the "Data Source Editor" button and open the correct data source:
You can add or remove menu items using the Add button or Garbage bin button.
Please contact support if you have more detailed questions on how to edit the data source.
