Schedule Settings

You can define the following settings for a Schedule:

Schedule Name

A unique name for the Schedule.

Valid From

The date and time to start running this Schedule.

Any schedules that have 'Valid From' older than the current time will not start as they are in the past. However, if all the

schedules have Valid From time in the past then the most recent Schedule is used.

Valid Until

The Valid Until setting can be:

Superseded. The Schedule will play until a more recent Schedule that satisfies other conditions becomes eligible.

Valid Date. The Schedule will stop on the specified date, and a more eligible Schedule will be selected. If no eligible

Schedule is found, then the current Schedule will continue playing.

A schedule will start on the 'Valid From' time provided there is not another schedule that best matches the conditions. The

Schedule will run until it is either superseded or until a 'Valid Until' time.

Show Layout

The Layout to show when this Schedule is started. You can change this by editing the Schedule.
