How to schedule content or a playlist on a display

Once your display has been successfully added, you can schedule content for it to show.

Scheduling Content to a Display

Open the display tab (e.g., “10 Touch”), go to the Scheduling section, and click “+ Add Another Content”.



Here you’ll also see the content already scheduled and its status (e.g., "Always visible").

How to Add Content

  1. Click “+ Add Another Content”
  2. A configuration popup will appear
  3. From the dropdown menu “Select a content”, choose one of the following:
    1. A playlist
    2. An app
  4. Choose when it should appear:
    1. Always visible
    2. Or scheduled with:
      1. Start and end date/time
      2. Daily time slots
      3. Active weekdays
  5. Click “Save content”

Setting Up Interactive Touch Content


In the same popup, Livesignage allows you to assign additional content that activates only when a user touches the screen.
This option is only available on touch displays. This feature allows you to display one piece of content as a screensaver, and to switch to another after the user touches the screen.
​


To enable it:
  1. In the content assignment popup, toggle “Touch content” ON
  2. Choose the content to display when touched (playlist or, app, or widget)
  3. Select an interaction icon (optional):
    1. No icon
    2. White icon
    3. Black icon
  4. Set the inactivity timeout (in seconds). After this time, the screen returns to the default content.
Example: You can display a passive “storefront” loop and activate interactive content, show a website page or any other experience - only when a user taps the screen.
