Set playlist time control

Prev Next

Use time control properties to specify when and how a playlist plays in its program scheme. To do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Channels > Program scheme.

  2. Select the program scheme that contains your playlist.

  3. In the Standard playlists or Event playlists pane, hover over the playlist and select   Edit.

  4. In the Edit playlist properties window, switch to the Time control tab.

  5. Configure the following settings as required:

    From and until what date should the playlist run?

    Select one of the following options:

    • Always on: there's no time limit on playback.

    • Manual: specify dates and times to limit the playback.

    On what days should the playlist run?

    Select the days on which the playlist runs.

    When should the playlist run daily?

    Specify the time frame during which the playlist runs every day.

    In which loops should the playlist 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 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.
