Schedule content

In this article, we explain how to create a playlist with content for your screens in Digital Signage.

Default Black Screen

If you set up a schedule and there's no content assigned for a specific time slot, the screen will automatically show black.

Setting Up Default Content

There are two ways to define what shows on screen when there's no content scheduled:

1. At the schedule level (applies only to that specific schedule)

• Click on the schedule you want to edit.
• Select the "Default content" option to define what will show when there are no other items scheduled.

Then choose how you want the screen to look when there's no content scheduled:

• "None": the screen will stay black.
• "Use account default": shows what's configured at the account level (see point 2 below).
• "Asset": select a specific asset to show during those times.
• "Playlist": automatically plays a playlist when there's no content scheduled.

2. At the account level (applies to all newly created schedules)

Important: if you set this up at both the account level and the schedule level, the schedule-level setting will take priority.

Choose how you want the screen to look when there's no content scheduled:

• "None": the screen will stay black.
• "Asset": select an asset to show during those times.
• "Playlist": automatically plays a playlist when there's no content scheduled.

Creating Schedules and Events

1. Select "Create Schedule".
2. Edit the schedule name to easily identify it.

Adding an Event

1. Select "Add Event".
2. Fill in the schedule item details:
   • Use assets or playlists in your event.
   • Set the time and choose whether it repeats daily, weekly, or doesn't repeat.
3. Click "Save".

Your schedule will be created with the assigned event, scheduled for the days and times you set.
