Publish Schedule​

  • When you finished with the schedule editing, you can set priority to your schedule by clicking on the icon in the top-right corner of the editor.
Higher number means higher priority.
  • Which means if a device has multiple schedules assigned, the schedule with the higher priority number will play.
  • If multiple schedules own the same priority number, the one that has been created first will be applied.
  • Also you can add comments and manually change the status to active or inactive.
  • You can rename the Schedule in the Publish settings, or by clicking on the name box in the top-left corner of the editor.

Restrictions and Troubleshooting​

One content per schedule​

Only one source content can be selected in one schedule, multiple selection is not available.

  • If you wish to schedule more than one content with the same settings, we recommend you to use channels instead of Schedules.
  • In case of multiple playlists and slides, we recommend you to use playlists instead of Schedules.

Device has no assigned content​

Schedules will not work if the device has no assigned content in it.

  • To avoid schedule outage, please create a fallback content and assign it to the device.
  • This way, if one Schedule finished and the other is not started yet, the device will not show blank screen.

Device license tier​

Device license is not eligible to play the content type selected in Schedule

  • For example: Content type schedule will not work on Devices with lite license.
