Create a schedule: playlist + time + weekdays

Create slots with content, a weekday and a time, optionally tie them to the weather, and assign the schedule to a display.

A schedule is a weekly grid of slots. Each slot links content to a weekday and a time window and repeats every week until you change it. For a schedule to take effect, it has to be assigned to a display.

Create a schedule and a slot

  1. 1Open “Schedules”, choose “Add schedule”, enter a name and click “Create”. Then open the new schedule.
  2. 2Click “Add slot”, or click the hour you want directly in the “Calendar”.
  3. 3Under “Content type”, choose what should play, for example “Playlist”, and select the playlist.
  4. 4Choose the “Day of the week”. “Whole week” creates a separate slot for each weekday, which you can edit individually later.
  5. 5Enter the “Start time” and “End time”. German time applies.
  6. 6Click “Add”. Check the result in “Calendar” and “List”; clicking a slot opens it for editing.
  7. 7Under “Displays”, open the display, select the new schedule on the “Schedule” card and confirm with “OK”.

The content types

  • Playlist: plays the selected playlist.
  • External ads: mixes external campaigns into your content during this time window; you do not assign a playlist.
  • Widget (Pro): shows all widgets you have enabled in the Content Hub.
  • Social (Pro): shows the posts you have selected in the Content Hub.
  • Website: shows the websites from the Content Hub.
  • L-Banner: on displays with the L-Banner layout, fills the right-hand zone with its own playlist.

Tie content to the weather

With “Weather condition”, a slot only plays in matching weather at the display’s location: under “Only if”, choose Sunny, Cloudy, Rain or Snow and optionally a temperature range. If weather data is missing, the slot always plays to be on the safe side.

Avoid overlapping slots: if several slots are active at once, their content plays together, so one slot does not replace another. Do not rely on the “Priority” field for this either. For times without a slot, assign a fallback playlist to the display under “Setup”.
