2.1 Using Schedules
The player units are designed to run continuously. You control which layouts are displayed on what days and at what times by
creating a Schedule for each channel. A schedule always contains at least one Schedule Entry, which defines at least one
player action (often, which layout to display). A schedule entry does not necessarily specify a layout change, it could specify
some other action (for example, switching the audio to mute).
The schedule entries define periods of time during which actions occur. The program of schedule entries is based on a one-
week cycle. The Default Schedule Entry defines the layout that appears, or the actions that occur, when no other schedule
entry is active.
The player always displays the schedule with the most recent start time. Once a schedule starts running it continues until
another schedule is set to begin. If there is only one schedule it runs indefinitely.
An example schedule might contain schedule entries taking these actions:
Playing layout X from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays.
l
Playing layout Y from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
l
The default schedule entry, playing layout Z at all other times.
l
You can temporarily interrupt a schedule by using a Schedule Override.
To access the schedules configured for a channel on the iCC:
1. On the menu bar, click Schedules.
2. Select the relevant channel from the drop-down list.
3. Click Manage Schedules.
There are these action buttons for each schedule:
– Delete the schedule (does not delete the associated layouts).
– Copy the schedule.
– Edit the schedule.
