Scheduling Content

You will almost always do scheduling from the content level rather than the template level. Scheduling from the template level should only be used if you are using a specific template for an event that doesn't match your everyday template.

  • Find the content you wish to schedule in the content tab.
  • Right click and select 'Edit'.
  • The dialog box you saw when you imported the content should pop up. Go to 'Suggested Recurrence' and click the ellipses at the right of the dialog box.
    • For consistent content, go down to the last section of the dialog box and choose either weekly or monthly.
      • Weekly - Choose which days you want your content to play. (this option plays the content for the entire day selected)Scheduling Content
      • Monthly - Choose a specific day of each month or choose a specific scheduling pattern.

When scheduling an event poster, use the 'End by' function and schedule it to end the day after the date on the poster. This will help you organize your content and to keep your content flowing if you aren't able to work in the software everyday.
