# Configure time control

To edit the playback times of a spot in IXM One, perform the following steps:

1. Go to **Content > Playlist**.
2. In the playlist pane, select the playlist.
3. In the **Content of playlist** pane, hover over a spot and click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e2b87f73-d9f5-43cb-8182-2641762664fd/Images/Documentation/configure-time-control-image-cuun33jf.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T20%3A17%3A38Z&se=2026-11-06T21%3A17%3A38Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=OIjF6gORun5%2F5ueZZ0Hw50EBW5Rp%2FK4Lsf5fLJ68eKo%3D) **Edit display properties**.
4. Switch to the tab **Time control**.
5. Edit the following properties:

| **Starting from which date should a spot be shown and when should playback end?** | Select one of the following options: - **Always on** Spots are played as long as a player is turned on. This is the default setting. - **Manual** Set a date and time manually. |
| --- | --- |
| **On which days should the spot be played?** | Select on which week days and holidays (HO) a spot is displayed. Note that different [holiday settings](/grassfish/docs/manage-holidays) may apply to players and playlists. |
| **When should the spot be played every day?** | Specify the daily playback for spots on a player using **Time from** and **Time to**. |
| **In which loops should the spot be displayed?** | Specify whether a spot should play every time a playlist is played or whether it should be skipped on certain loops. Example: Select loops 2, 4, and 6, and the spot will play every second iteration of the playlist. --- If you use both priorities and [loops](/grassfish/docs/set-time-control) in your playlists, note that loops take precedence over priorities. Lower-priority spots are played when: - Higher-priority playlists are not active in all loops. - Not all spots from higher-priority playlists are valid in all loops. |
6. Click **Save** to save your changes.
