Schedules

A schedule lets one screen show different slideshows at different times of the week. Show the lunch menu at noon, today’s numbers in the afternoon and a welcome message in the morning, without changing anything by hand.

Each schedule is a week of periods. A period plays one slideshow on one day, from a start time to an end time. Whenever no period is planned, the schedule plays its default slideshow.

Create a schedule

1. Go to Schedules and click Add Schedule.
2. Enter a Name, like “Reception week”.
3. Under Slideshow, choose what to play when no period is planned.
4. Click Save.

The schedule opens with a Week card listing Monday to Sunday. A day with no periods shows Default plays all day.

Add a period

1. Open the schedule and click + on the day you want to fill.
2. Choose a Start and an End time.
3. Choose the Slideshow to play.
4. Click Save.

Periods on the same day can’t overlap. When a period ends before midnight, the + button moves to its row, and your next period starts where that one ends.

Change the default slideshow

The default slideshow fills every gap between your periods.

1. Open the schedule.
2. Under Default slideshow, choose a slideshow.
3. Click Save.

Tip Pick a default that works at any time of day, so your screen never runs out of things to show.

Show a schedule on a screen

1. Go to Devices and click the device.
2. Choose your schedule instead of a slideshow.
3. Click Update.

The screen follows the schedule from its next slide. See Devices.

FAQ

What plays when no period is planned and there’s no default?

Nothing. Set a Default slideshow so the screen always has something to show.

How do I cover a late evening that runs past midnight?

A period ends at midnight at the latest. Add one period that ends at 24:00, and another that starts at 00:00 on the next day.

What happens to my screens if I delete a schedule?

Screens that showed it are left with nothing to play. Open each one in Devices and choose a new slideshow or schedule.
