Creating a Schedule

Schedules let you automate content changes based on time, day, and date rules. Set it up once and your screens change content automatically.

What is a Schedule?

A schedule is a set of rules that determine which playlist plays on which devices at which times. Each rule specifies:

• Playlist — What to play
• Time range — Start and end time
• Days — Which days of the week
• Target — Which devices receive this schedule
• Priority — Precedence when schedules overlap (1-100)

Creating a Schedule

1. Go to Schedules in the main navigation 2. Click Create Schedule 3. Enter a name and optional description 4. Click Add Rule to define time slots

Adding Time Rules

For each rule, configure:

1. Select Playlist — Choose which playlist plays 2. Start Time / End Time — When the rule is active 3. Days — Select specific days (Mon-Sun) or use presets (Weekdays, Weekends, All) 4. Date Range (optional) — Limit the rule to specific dates 5. Priority — Higher number = higher precedence (1-100)

Recurring Rules (RRULE)

For complex patterns, use recurring rules:

• Every Monday and Thursday
• First Monday of each month
• Every other week
• Custom recurrence patterns

Timezone

Schedules respect the timezone set in your organization settings. Devices in different timezones adjust automatically.
