rendezvous point.

Ad hoc Schedule Overrides

The iCOMPEL gives you the flexibility to allow Ad hoc users to override the current display schedule at any time. Typical

applications could include:

Displaying special staff instructions in the event of an emergency

Showing a special event from a TV broadcast feed

Displaying information for staff members

Content designers create the override by selecting the layout they wish to implement. This can then be activated directly, or

made available for Ad hoc users to select.

Schedule overrides temporarily replace the current Schedule until the original Schedule is reactivated.
