Weekly Schedule:
A Schedule enables users to set a date and time for the media to play on the screen within that weekly schedule.
To schedule automatic media lifetime:
- Check the box labelled “Enable Scheduling”.
- Select the day you want to set the schedule for, such as Wednesday. You can create schedules for the entire week.
- Click on “Schedule”.
- Edit the start and end times for the schedule.
- You can choose to apply this timing for the whole week by clicking “Apply to the entire week”.
- To add another schedule, click on “ADD SCHEDULE”. You can add up to 3 schedules for each day.
- Once done editing, click save, then click the button “Publish to the Screen” to send the weekly schedule to the screen.
Ensure your screen is set to the correct timezone for the schedule to function properly.
The layer in the playlist will now run on your display within the lifetime assigned to it. Once the lifetime ends, the layer will stop running on your display.
