We're here to help, and we want you to get the most value possible from our system. To get the most enjoyment and benefits, there are some key terms you'll need to understand.
As you read through these terms, please note that the basic 4-step flow is the same for Music, Messaging, and Digital Signage. That is by design to make UMix easy to learn and understand.
