Adding Layouts to the Screen's Playlist

Last updated

Choose which layouts a screen plays, and in what order, from the screen’s Edit window. Each screen has its own playlist of one or more layouts.

What you’ll need

  • A screen linked to your account and at least one layout with content.
  • To play more than one layout on a screen, the Pro plan or higher. On the Light and Standard plans, each screen plays one layout.

Steps

  1. In the menu on the left, click Screens. Find the screen and click Edit on its row.

  2. Under Playlist, click Search or choose a layout. Type part of a layout’s name to filter the list, then click the layout to add it.

  3. Set the order. Layouts play from top to bottom and then start over. Drag a layout, or use its arrow buttons, to move it up or down; the trash button removes it from this screen (the layout itself is kept). Sort playlist puts the layouts in name order, Name: A to Z or Name: Z to A.

How a playlist plays

  • With one layout, the screen plays it over and over.
  • With more than one, each layout plays until its primary zone reaches the end of its content, then the next layout starts. See Primary Zone.
