Welcome to the Onsite Scheduling Guide. The following instructions will walk you through uploading media, scheduling content and viewing your playback in realtime.



Dashboard

  • The dashboard allows you to check the status of your site(s) and content quickly.

  • The scheduled playback widget displays the current content schedule playing for your selected site/site group. Each zone has a scheduled playlist. Click on a future date to view the schedule of content that will play on that date.

  • The status widgets provide information about your screen and content. Check on your site connections to ensure all sites are connected, see which panels are on, off or not monitored, and see what content has been downloaded or is in the process of downloading.

  • Take a look at what’s currently playing on your screen via the screen capture widget. If you have a site group selected, use the arrows to navigate through the screen captures for each site within the group. Use the refresh icon to refresh the screen capture at any time
