How do I schedule the same Playlist across multiple displays?

How to schedule a playlist

In Livesignage, you can schedule playlists using two different methods:
  1. from the display settings
  2. or directly from inside the playlist

Option 1 – From the Display Management Panel



This method is useful when assigning playlists to one or more displays or checking active content quickly.
  1. Go to the Displays section in the left menu
  2. Click on the display you want to manage
  3. Under the Programming section, click + Add another content
  4. Select the playlist from the dropdown
  5. Choose the visibility: always visible, or scheduled by time/day
  6. Click Save content to apply the changes
Great for managing multiple displays individually from a central view.


Option 2 – From Inside the Playlist



Use this approach when you want to control the exact scheduling from the playlist itself.
  1. Go to the Playlists section and open the playlist
  2. Click the calendar icon 📅 in the top-right
  3. If no schedule exists, click
    Add schedule



  4. In the popup:
    1. Choose the target display or a display group
    2. Set the time ranges, dates, and days of the week
  5. Click Save programming
Ideal when timing needs to be precise or limited to specific hours.

Notes

  1. You can view and edit existing schedules from both the display and playlist views
  2. Scheduling a playlist does not duplicate it—it just controls when and where it appears
