Schedules

Schedules control which content plays on which displays, and when. A schedule links a piece of content (a layout, playlist, or campaign) to one or more displays (or display groups), within a defined time window.

Navigate to: Sidebar → Schedules

How Scheduling Works

Each display maintains a content schedule. When a scheduled time window arrives, the display switches to the scheduled content. When the window ends, the display returns to its default layout (or plays the next scheduled item if there is one).

If no schedule is active, the display plays its default layout: a fallback layout assigned to the display itself. See Setting a Default Layout for how to configure this.

Browsing Schedules

The Schedules page lists all active and upcoming schedules. Use the filters to narrow by display, display group, or date range. Schedules that are currently active are highlighted. Schedules with conflicts (overlapping at the same priority level on the same display) are flagged with a warning indicator.

Creating a Schedule

1. Navigate to Schedules in the sidebar.
2. Click Add Schedule.
3. Fill in the schedule details:

Field	Description
Name	A descriptive label (e.g. “Summer Promo, Lobby Screen”)
Content	Choose a layout, playlist, or campaign
Displays / Groups	Select one or more displays or display groups
Start date / time	When the schedule becomes active
End date / time	When it ends (leave blank for no end date)
Recurrence	How often it repeats (see below)
Time Window	Optional: restrict playback to specific times of day — see Time Windows
Priority	Higher priority schedules override lower ones during conflicts
High Priority	Toggle for urgent overrides that take precedence over all standard schedules
Campaign	Optionally associate with a Campaign

4. Click Save.

The schedule becomes active on the specified start date. Connected displays will pick up the change within a few minutes.

Recurrence Options

Option	Behaviour
None (Once)	Plays once during the defined date/time window
Every Minute	Repeats every minute (useful for testing)
Hourly	Repeats every hour (or every N hours)
Daily	Repeats every day (or every N days)
Weekly	Repeats on selected days of the week
Monthly	Repeats on the same date each month
Yearly	Repeats on the same date each year

For repeating schedules, set:

• Repeat Every: the interval (e.g. every 2 weeks).
• Until: an end date for the recurrence (optional).

Schedule Priority

When multiple schedules are active on the same display at the same time, the one with the highest priority wins.

Priority level	Typical use
0 (default)	Standard content
1	Override standard content
2+	High-importance overrides

The High Priority toggle places a schedule above all standard priority levels. Use it for emergency messages or urgent announcements.

Conflict Detection

If a schedule conflicts with another schedule on the same display at the same priority level, it is flagged with a warning indicator in the schedule list. Click the schedule to review and resolve the conflict by adjusting priorities, times, or displays.

Using Time Windows

Time Windows let you restrict a schedule to specific times of day. For example: breakfast menu plays 7am–11am, lunch menu plays 11am–3pm. When creating a schedule, select a pre-defined Time Window in the Time Window field.

2. Click the Edit button.
3. Update any fields and click Save.

Changes take effect on connected displays within a few minutes.

Ending a Schedule Early

1. Open the schedule and click Edit.
2. Set the End date to today or a past date and click Save.

Deleting a Schedule
