Scheduling

Digital signage scheduling by daypart and priority, targeted by tag.

A breakfast menu has to give way to lunch at 11:00 in every store, and a safety notice has to beat everything else on screen. Wallboard schedules content by date and time of day, by weekday and by priority, then targets screens by tag. Nobody switches anything by hand.

How it works

Every schedule answers the same questions.

  1. What to play

    Pick content, slides or playlists, or build a channel that rotates media and content from many contributors.

  2. When to play

    Set dates, daily intervals and weekdays. Exclude holidays. Intervals can run past midnight, and one schedule can hold a lunch block and a dinner block.

  3. Where to play

    Choose devices, or target by tag or quick filter. Tag a screen "north region" next month and it picks up the matching content on its own.

  4. Which schedule wins

    When schedules overlap, the higher priority plays. On a tie, the older schedule wins. Fallback content covers gaps.

Scheduling tools for shared screens.

Channels with fair rotation

A channel is airtime that several teams share. An administrator decides who publishes to it, how much each one gets and which screens it reaches.

Saturation

A channel with a saturation of 2 plays twice as often as one set to 1, however many items each holds.

Sub-channels for local teams

Local teams schedule for their own screens, but a sub-channel only plays on devices that its parent channel also allows.

Zoning

Tag channels to decide which screen zone they fill. A sidebar zone, say, plays only channels tagged "sidebar".

Playlist snapshot

See what each active channel will play, filtered by tag, without standing in front of a screen.

Synchronized playback

Keep content in step across players of the same platform, timed to the clock, so that a row of menu boards above one counter changes together.

Offline playback

Channels keep playing through a lost connection.

Advertiser reporting

Link channels to advertisers and each one gets its own proof-of-play report.
