Scheduling a Playlist

Playlists are content loops that play over a set duration (time slot).  When a playlist is added to the Scheduling grid time slots are created.  Each time slot determines how long a playlist will be shown on the player(s).

NOTE: The Scheduling window allows entire playlists to be programmed and each time slot represents how long the playlist will loop.

• Time slots can be unique (occur only once) or they can repeat multiple times over several days and months.  In fact, a time slot can be assigned to play for the same period every day for up to an entire year.  The user determines how long each time slot will last.

Follow these steps to add a playlist to the Scheduling grid:

• The upper area of the playlist window shows all the playlists that are available.  Simply click and drag it into the Scheduling grid to schedule a playlist.  Drop the playlist on the chosen day to begin.NOTE: The Scheduling grid shows a weekly view.  The current day is always highlighted in a darker shade than the other days of the week.  This day will also show a thin red line to indicate the current time of day.

• The Time slot window will open.  This window will list all currently scheduled playlists for the day including the one just added.  The user can adjust the time slot’s start and end times for the newly added playlist.  The start and end times for each playlist shown in the window can also be modified.  This will affect the schedule for the currently selected day.
