Schedule Entries - Black Box iCOMPEL 2U Series User Manual

iCOMPEL Digital Signage User Guide (V9.2.3)

2.1.2 Schedule Entries

A schedule entry is a set of one or more actions for the iCOMPEL to perform at specified times. Schedule entries repeat
over a weekly cycle and a program of schedule entries make up a schedule.
Use schedule entries to specify these actions:
Displaying a layout
Switching a screen on or off
Switching audio on or off
Performing Advance To commands.
Whenever you create a new Schedule, the iCOMPEL automatically includes a Default Schedule Entry. The default
schedule entry has no start and end time and defines the default states when no other entry is active.
Schedule entries allow you to direct your iCOMPEL to perform simple or highly sophisticated sequences of actions. You
can have the iCOMPEL display different layouts at different times of the day and different days of the week, switch the
display on and off, or repeat actions at specified intervals.
To illustrate the use of schedule entries in more detail, here is a worked example.
With the following schedule, made up of three schedule entries, the iCOMPEL will:
Turn the screen on to show the Showroom layout from 08:45 until 18:00 on Mondays to Fridays.
Display the Active layout (carrying a news broadcast) for 10 minutes every hour.
Turn the screen off at all other times the screen is turned off.

Looking at the respective settings on the Add Schedule Entry tab reveals how you would go about specifying each of
those schedule entries.
