Create a broadcast

Before you create your first broadcast, it’s important to know that it won’t transmit any content to the screens until you set it to play mode. This allows you to schedule your content at your own pace.

To create a new broadcast, perform the following steps:

In the sidebar, click Broadcast.
Click New Broadcast in the header.
Select one of the following options:
- Standard
- Share of Voice
Name your broadcast. For example, use the campaign name and time frame.
Answer the following questions to set up your broadcast:

When?

Specify when the content in your broadcast plays:

Select a start and end date.
Select the frequency.
Select a start and end time.
Optionally, click + to schedule multiple time periods. To delete time periods, click -.
Optionally, set Takeover and Triggers.

Takeover

Select this option to let the broadcast take over the screen according to your schedule. This means the current playlist on the screens will be overwritten. For example, you can use this to draw attention to a message on one or more screens.

Triggers

If you’ve already created triggers, you can add them to set scheduling rules for your broadcast. To do so, perform the following steps:

Click Select triggers.
Select the trigger(s) you want to add.
Click Save.

Where?

Specify which of your screens the broadcast will reach:

Share of Voice: Select the Content Type and Spot length. Learn more …
Filter by: Filter for the screen(s) you want to reach.
Combine filters: Use next to a row to add another one directly below it. This allows you to organize specific sections and add filters when using OR. OR groups filters into sections, which are then compared together with another section.
Only broadcast to layers: Select to target a specific layer on a screen with your broadcast. Learn more …

Groups

You can use multiple groups in a single broadcast. For example, if you have portrait and landscape screens receiving content at the same time, create a separate group for each orientation.

Add group: Add another group. It will appear in the tab navigation and in the What module in the next step.
Edit name: Change the selected group’s name if needed.
Duplicate: Create a copy of the selected group to reuse its filter and media selection.
Delete group: Delete the selected group from the broadcast.
