To create a new schedule, click on the “Add Schedule” button found at the bottom of the Schedules list.
- The next step is to name your new schedule and then configure the layouts, media, or playlists you want to display.
- The calendar gives you the option to view the month, week, or even day of your choice, by clicking on the relevant buttons. You can see the current date; however, you can move to the previous or next month/week/day by clicking on the arrows next to the “today” button.
- On the right side of the screen, there is the “Entries” column under which you can find all of the scheduled media entries you have created within that specific schedule.
- As a next step, click on the “+Add Entry” button and use the drop-down menu next to content to choose between a Layout, Media, or Playlist category in the “New Entry” window that appears. Once you pick a content category (i.e., a Layout), a new drop-down menu appears from which you can select the specific Layout, Media, or Playlist you want to use in your schedule.
- To set the start date and time you want your layout, media, or playlist displayed, fill in the information in the “First Start” box. To schedule the time, click on the clock icon.
- To set the end date and time for the content you will display, fill in the information in the “First Stop” box. To schedule the time, click on the clock icon.
- The next box, “Repeat”, indicates the frequency your layout, media, or playlist will be displayed. Click to choose one of the options provided:
- Once. If you want your layout, media, or playlist to playback during specific hours on a specific day/date only.
- Daily. If you want to set which days of the week you wish your layout, media, or playlist to playback.
- Weekly. If you want your layout, media, or playlist to be displayed once per week.
- Monthly. If you want your layout, media, or playlist to be displayed once per month.
- Yearly. If you want your layout, media, or playlist to be displayed once per year.
- Finally, “Repeat Until” indicates the time frame you want to set your schedule. You can either select a specific date and time or click” End of time” so your schedule will always be displayed as indicated.
