The Advanced Schedule turns one schedule into a content calendar. Instead of a single time window, you build Day Sequences, named programmes that say what plays at which hours, and then paint those sequences onto dates. There are three building blocks:
  • Day Sequence, a named programme made of time slots
  • Time slot, a block of hours inside a sequence (for example 9 AM–12 PM) with the compositions that loop for that block
  • Calendar assignment, the dates a sequence runs on, set as a date range with repeat-on days, or by picking dates individually
Create your compositions first, every time slot needs at least one. If all you need is one block of content between two dates, the simpler Schedule is the better tool.
Use Advanced Schedule when you need any of the following:
  • Different content on weekdays and weekends
  • Different content at different times of day, for example a breakfast menu and a lunch menu
  • Several programmes rotating across weeks or months
  • A one-off programme on a specific date, such as a public holiday

​
How to open the Advanced Schedule builder

Advanced Schedule is a mode inside the normal schedule flow, not a separate button.
1

Start a schedule

Click Publish in the left navigation, then + Schedule.
2

Switch to advanced

On the Configure Schedule page, find the Advanced Options card at the bottom and click Advanced Schedule.
3

Confirm the switch

A dialog asks Switch to Advanced Scheduling? and warns that your current configuration will be cleared. Click Continue.
The builder has two areas: Day Sequences on the left and the month calendar on the right. The progress bar at the top shows the three stages, Configure Schedule → Select Screens → Publish Schedule.

​
Step 1: Build a Day Sequence

1

Click + Add Day Sequence

Two options appear:
  • New, a blank sequence
  • Copy existing, available once you have at least one sequence, duplicates one as a starting point
A copy is fully independent, editing it does not affect the original. It saves time when two programmes share a structure, such as a weekday and weekend version of the same menu.
2

Name the sequence

In the Create a Day Sequence dialog, type a name in Sequence Name, for example Weekday Program.
3

Set up the time slots

One slot is created for you, 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Adjust the start and end times.
  • + Add Slot adds another block of the day. Each new slot starts where the previous one ended.
  • The bin icon removes a slot.
A 24-hour bar at the top shows your coverage at a glance, and the footer keeps a running total: Day covered (hours your slots fill) and Default Content (the remaining hours, which fall back to the screen’s default composition).
4

Add compositions to each slot

Select a slot, then click + Add Composition. Tick the compositions for that block of time and click Add to Slot. Several compositions in one slot loop in order for the whole slot.
Every slot needs at least one composition. You cannot add a second slot, or save the sequence, while a slot is still empty.
5

Save the sequence

Click Create Sequence. The sequence appears as a card in the left panel showing its name, how many items it holds, and the hours it covers.

​
Step 2: Assign the sequence to dates

As soon as you create a sequence, the Assign to calendar dialog opens and asks when it should play. You can also reopen it later from the Assign to calendar → link on the sequence card. Choose one of two ways:

Date range

A start date, an end date, and the days of the week it repeats on.

Specific dates

Pick individual dates by clicking them on the calendar.

​
Using a date range

Click Date range. The dialog expands in place to show START DATE and END DATE, and the button in the corner changes to Confirm. Set the two dates, then use the REPEAT ON toggles to choose the days. Monday to Friday are on by default, so turn on Sat and Sun if the programme should also run at weekends. The text beside REPEAT ON always summarises the current selection, Mon–Fri, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, and so on. Click Confirm. The calendar fills in and the sequence card shows an ASSIGNED TO chip such as 2026-08-17 → 2026-09-15 · Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
Need the same programme in two separate periods, say August and November? Click + Add another date range on the card and set up the second one. Each range gets its own chip, with Edit to change it and × to remove it.

​
Picking dates one by one

Click Specific dates. The corner button changes to Start Picking, click it. Now click any date on the calendar to assign the sequence to it, and click Done Picking ✓ on the calendar when you have finished.

​
Changing a single date

Clicking a calendar cell directly also works at any time:
  • An empty cell is assigned to the selected sequence immediately, with no confirmation.
  • A cell that already has a sequence opens a dialog titled with that date, for example Aug 22, 2026. Under CHOOSE SEQUENCE, pick a different sequence to swap it, or click ✕ Clear this date to leave the date empty so the screen’s default composition plays.
A date can only hold one sequence. Assigning a new one to a date that is already taken replaces what was there.
TOTAL COVERAGE at the bottom of the left panel counts the dates that have a sequence on them. If a range covers 30 days but 8 of them are already taken by another sequence, only the dates this sequence actually holds are counted.
The ⋮ menu on a sequence card has four actions:
  • Edit, change the name, slots, or compositions
  • Copy, duplicate the sequence
  • Preview, see each slot listed in order with its compositions and durations, a quick way to sanity-check a programme before publishing
  • Delete, remove the sequence and its calendar assignments

​
Step 3: Select screens

When the calendar looks right, click Proceed → to move to Select Screens. Tick the screens that should run this calendar. Each row shows Status, Last Seen, Current Schedule, and Default Composition.
A screen runs one schedule at a time. Publishing this one replaces whatever schedule those screens are on.
Click Create Schedule →. To finish without choosing screens, click Skip for now, the schedule is saved and you can add screens later with Assign Screens from its ⋯ menu.

​
Step 4: Review and publish

The Review & publish dialog confirms the Name, Type (Advanced Schedule), Date range, Time slot, Compositions, and Screens. Name the schedule, then click Publish. It now appears in the Schedules tab with the type Advanced Schedule, marked Active or Upcoming.

​
Editing an existing Advanced Schedule

From the Schedules tab, click ⋯ on the row and choose Edit. The builder reopens with your sequences and calendar intact, so you can add sequences, adjust date ranges, reassign individual dates, or change screens. Publish again to push the changes to the assigned screens.

​
Common scenarios

Different content on weekdays and weekends

Create two sequences, for example Weekday Program and Weekend Program. Assign the first with a date range set to REPEAT ON Mon–Fri, then assign the second with the same range set to Sat and Sun only.
You need one sequence, not two. Inside it, create a slot for 9:00 AM–12:00 PM with the breakfast composition and a second slot for 12:00 PM–6:00 PM with the lunch composition, then assign that one sequence to the dates.
Build a Holiday sequence, then click that single date on the calendar. If it already has another sequence, choose Holiday from CHOOSE SEQUENCE in the dialog to swap just that day.
Any hours your slots do not cover show as Default Content in the sequence dialog. During those hours the screen plays its default composition, which you set per screen under Screen → Content → Default Composition.
