Schedules

Schedules decide what plays when. Instead of manually swapping content, you set rules and the scheduler picks the right content for each screen in real time.

How scheduling works

Each screen resolves its current content by priority:

1. Emergency override (highest) — pushes content immediately, ignoring schedules.
2. Matching schedule rule — the active rule for the current time/day.
3. Assigned playlist (fallback) — what plays when no rule matches.

Create a schedule rule

1. Go to Schedules.
2. Create a rule that targets a screen (or group) and a content choice.
3. Set its timing:
   • Time of day — e.g. 09:00–17:00.
   • Day of week — e.g. weekdays only.
   • Recurring — repeating windows.

When the current time enters a rule's window, the screen switches automatically; when it leaves, the screen falls back to the next-highest match.

Sleep (blank the screen)

A schedule can use the Sleep content type to blank a screen to black — ideal for overnight or out-of-hours.

• During a Sleep window the player shows a clean black screen (no content, no audio).
• When the window ends, normal playback resumes immediately.

Use Sleep to save panel life and avoid showing content to an empty room at 3 a.m.

Tips

• Keep an assigned playlist on every screen as the safe fallback for any time no rule covers.
• Use groups to apply one rule across many screens at once.
• For one-off urgent messages, prefer the emergency override on the screen rather than editing schedules.
