Schedule playlist play times

Run different playlists or menus at different times of day automatically — breakfast menu in the morning, dinner menu at night, after-hours promo overnight.

1. 1

   Open the Schedule page

   In the left sidebar, click the violet Schedule button. The schedule editor opens, listing any rules you already have.
   
2. 2

   Click "Add Rule"

   At the top of the rules list, click Add Rule. A new blank rule expands inline, ready for you to fill in.
   
3. 3

   Pick what to play

   Open the Playlist Type dropdown and pick what should run 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 boxes for the days this rule should apply. Common patterns:
   
   • Weekdays — Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
   • Weekends — Sat, Sun.
   • Every day — all seven.
5. 5

   Set the time window

   Enter a Start Time and End Time in 24-hour format. For a breakfast menu you might use 06:00 to 14:00. Overnight windows are supported — e.g. 22:00 to 06:00 for late-night content.
6. 6

   Enable the rule and save

   Make sure the Enabled checkbox is ticked, then click Save. Disabled rules stay in the list but don't affect what plays — useful for seasonal schedules you'll re-activate later.
7. 7

   Add more rules to cover the day

   Repeat the steps above for each time window you want to cover — e.g. Menu 1 (06:00–14:00), Menu 2 (14:00–22:00), and a Late-Night Promo (22:00–06:00). Each rule is independent and can be toggled on or off at any time.
8. 8

   Launch a scheduled display

   On a display device, open the Launch Display URL. The display checks the schedule about once a minute and automatically switches to the correct playlist or menu when each window starts.
   
   Add ?debug=1 to the URL to see exactly which rule is currently winning.
