Schedules
Scheduling determines what to play, when to play it,
and where to play it. Two types of schedules are
available including Basic and Smart. Basic schedules
are great for very simple scheduling based on a
certain date/time range, day of week, and fixed set of
players. Smart scheduling is much more dynamic
allowing for much more complex campaigns based
on a set of logical conditions. A schedule requires either a playlist or template along with a set of devices.
Multiple schedules can be assigned to the same player with various levels of priority.
Basic Scheduling
A basic schedule consists of a time range, a date
range, selected days of the week, a playlist or
template, and a selected list of devices.
Smart Scheduling
Smart schedules provide a more dynamic mechanism for scheduling based on a set of rules or conditions
for determining what to play, when to play it, and where to play it. The full set of conditions is beyond the
scope of this document, however the image to the
right demonstrates an example smart schedule for a
bakery. This schedule will play the Bakery template,
only on weekdays and in the month of October, and
only on devices containing the tag ‘Display Case’. As
you can see Smart Scheduling provides much more
flexibility in scheduling but may or may be necessary
depending on your use case.
