Scheduling is a way to publish predefined content to your screens for the time and date of your choice. A schedule can run for anything from a few minutes to several months, and the Publish module walks you through it in three steps: Configure, Select Content, and Select Screens.
Before scheduling, make sure you have created the composition you want to play.
