<h1 id="using_priority_and_display_order">Using Priority and Display Order <a href="#using_priority_and_display_order" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h1>
|
|
<p>OTS Signs Command Center has a number of scheduling tools to allow for the simple creation of schedules across one or more Displays/Display groups. These tools allow users to define the order of scheduled items to tailor how content should be shown as well as flagging high-priority Events to display those at the top of schedule lists.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="priority">Priority <a href="#priority" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
|
|
<p>Priority pushes important content to the front of any existing schedules and overrides all other non priority events of the same Event Type (Layouts/Campaigns/Video/Images and Playlists) on the schedule.</p>
|
|
<p>Schedules with a higher priority take precedence over those with lower priorities, with 0 considered the lowest.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, you might have an important announcement with information about a fire alarm test which needs to be the only thing to show on Displays at a specific time. Assigning the highest Priority to this Event would ensure that it is the only content to be shown.</p>
|
|
<p>On reaching the end time of the priority event, the normal schedule will resume on displays.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="display_order">Display Order <a href="#display_order" class="header-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span></a></h2>
|
|
<p>Use Display Order to determine the play order of multiple Events which have been scheduled to show at the same time.</p>
|
|
<p>Ordering is a simple numerical sort, lowest to highest numbers, Events marked with a 1 will be played before any Events marked with a 2 for example.</p>
|
|
<p>Leaving the Display Order field blank will default to the order that the Event was first added.</p>
|
|
<blockquote class="tip"><p><strong>NOTE:</strong> To ensure Layouts play in a defined order we recommend adding and ordering them into a Layout List Campaign. The Display Order can then be used to determine the order in which entire Campaigns should play.</p>
|
|
<p>If Layout List Campaigns have the same Display Order set or this field is left blank, Layouts assigned to the Layout List Campaign will play according to the <strong>Play List order</strong> set.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<h3>Maximum Plays per Hour</h3>
|
|
<p>There is an additional setting when scheduling Events to limit the number of times the Event should be shown per hour on Displays. You may have a promotional Image which should only be shown once an hour for example.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Set a number here or leave as 0 for unlimited plays.</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
|
<p><em><strong>What is considered the same Event Type for Priority?</strong></em></p>
|
|
<p>Layouts/Campaigns/Images/Videos and Playlists will be treated as the same Event Type when taking Priorities into consideration.</p>
|
|
<p><em><strong>What would happen if I ticked the Run at CMS time checkbox for an event?</strong></em></p>
|
|
<p>With this ticked, the Event time would be determined by the CMS time rather than using the local Display time for the selected Displays.</p>
|
|
<p>Scenario:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>CMS Time = GMT</li>
|
|
<li>Display 1 = GMT</li>
|
|
<li>Display 2 = GMT -4</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If an event was scheduled to start at 11:00hrs, content would start to show on these Displays at 11:00hrs according to their time zones. These two Displays will not show the same content at the same time as Display 2 is 4 hours behind Display 1.</p>
|
|
<p>If Run at CMS time was ticked, Display 1 will start to show at 11:00hrs, as it is on the same time zone as the CMS. Display 2 will start to show content at 07:00hrs as it is 4 hours behind the CMS time zone.</p>
