Scheduling
Control when and where your content plays with powerful scheduling rules.
Creating a Schedule
Navigate to Dashboard → Schedules and click "Create Schedule":
- Give your schedule a descriptive name (e.g., "Morning Menu Board")
- Select the playlist to play
- Choose target player(s) — one or many
- Set time rules (always on, time range, or recurring)
- Optionally assign a priority level
- Activate the schedule
Dayparting
Dayparting lets you show different content at different times of day. Common use cases:
Set the start and end time for each schedule entry. Content will only play during the specified window.
Recurring Schedules
Create schedules that repeat on specific days or patterns:
- Daily: Plays every day within the specified time window
- Weekdays only: Monday through Friday
- Weekends only: Saturday and Sunday
- Custom days: Select specific days of the week
- Date range: Plays only between a start and end date (ideal for campaigns)
Priority Overrides
When multiple schedules overlap for the same player, the priority system determines which one plays. Higher-priority schedules override lower-priority ones.
Multi-Zone Scheduling
When using a multi-zone layout, each zone can have its own independent schedule. For example, the main zone shows a product video while the ticker zone displays scrolling news, and the sidebar shows weather and time widgets — each on its own schedule with its own playlist.
