Making an event repeat in a schedule

You make an event repeat from within the event itself: open a schedule, click the event (or create a new one) and pick a frequency under Repeat. If the Ends field appears after that, use it to set how long the series runs. Click Save.

Creating a repeating event

1. Open the schedule and click the time slot in the calendar, or click an existing event.
2. Under Type, choose whether you are scheduling a Playlist or a File, and select the content.
3. Set Start time and End time.
4. Pick a frequency under Repeat:

- Never: the event plays once.

- Daily: every day at the same time.

- Every weekday (Mon to Fri): Monday to Friday at the same time.

- Weekly: every week at the same time. Click the days below the list; by default, that's the day the event starts.

- Biweekly: every other week.

- Monthly: every month on the same date.

- Yearly: every year on the same date.

1. Under Ends, choose whether the series keeps running (Never) or stops on a date (On date).
2. Click Save.

The end date is inclusive: the series runs up to and including the day you pick. Leave Ends on Never and the event keeps repeating.

On weekdays or on set days

Choose Every weekday (Mon to Fri) for an event that plays Monday to Friday, like a lunch menu or an office notice. Want other days, for example only Friday and Saturday? Choose Weekly and click those days. It stays one event: the calendar shows it on every day you picked, and a change applies to all days at once.

If you drag the event to another day in the calendar, the chosen days shift too. Monday to Friday then becomes, for example, Tuesday to Saturday.

Changing a repeating event

Click the event, adjust the fields and click Save. A repeating event is one event with a repeat rule, not a set of separate copies. A change therefore always applies to the whole series: you cannot edit a single occurrence on its own.

To change one day, create a second, one-off event on that day. For an exception that only lasts a short while, send content to the screen temporarily instead, see temporary content on a screen.

Deleting a repeating event

Open the event and click Delete. Here too, the action covers the whole series: every occurrence goes at once. You cannot skip individual occurrences.

Overlapping events

There is no priority field. When two events overlap, the one created last wins. So plan your overlaps deliberately, or shift the start and end times so they no longer touch.

When no event at all is playing at a given moment, the screen falls back to the default item of the schedule, see default item. If there is none, the screen stays blank.

Creating a schedule and linking it to a screen is covered in creating a schedule.
