Schedule playlist play times

Rotate playlists and menus by time of day on autopilot — breakfast in the morning, dinner at night, an after-hours promo overnight.

1. 1

   Open the Schedule page

   In the sidebar, click the violet Schedule button. The editor opens and lists any rules you already have.
2. 2

   Click "Add Rule"

   Click Add Rule at the top of the list. A blank rule opens inline, ready to fill in.
3. 3

   Pick what to play

   Open the Playlist Type dropdown and choose what runs during this rule:
   
   • Playlist I–V — any of your five content playlists.
   • Menu 1 or Menu 2 — one of your menu slots.
4. 4

   Choose days of the week

   Tick the days this rule applies to. Common patterns:
   
   • Weekdays — Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
   • Weekends — Sat, Sun.
   • Every day — all seven.
5. 5

   Set the time window

   Set a Start Time and End Time in 24-hour format — breakfast might be 06:00 to 14:00. Overnight windows work too, like 22:00 to 06:00 for late-night content.
6. 6

   Enable the rule and save

   Check the Enabled box, then click Save. Disabled rules stay in the list without affecting playback — handy for seasonal schedules you’ll switch back on later.
7. 7

   Add more rules to cover the day

   Repeat for each window you want — Menu 1 (06:00–14:00), Menu 2 (14:00–22:00), a Late-Night Promo (22:00–06:00). Every rule is independent and can be toggled on or off anytime.
8. 8

   Launch a scheduled display

   On the display device, open the Launch Display URL. It checks the schedule about once a minute and flips to the right playlist or menu as each window opens.
   
   Tack ?debug=1 onto the URL to see which rule is currently winning.
