Devices & Advanced settings

After creating your slides and configuring the playlist schedule, the next step is to select the devices where the playlist will be displayed. 
 

Devices 

This can be a single device, a device group, or one or more tags. These settings determine where the playlist will be published across your digital signage network. 
For more information about devices, see the article Device profile.

Selecting a folder will automatically include all devices within that folder. It is also possible to target devices using tags, allowing you to publish content to specific groups of devices. For more information on creating and managing tags, see the article Using tags with devices.

 

Once the devices have been selected, the next step is to configure the Advanced settings.

Advanced settings

The Advanced settings section contains two optional settings that can be enabled by selecting their respective checkboxes. Each option provides additional control over how and when the playlist is displayed. The following sections explain their purpose and how they can be used.

Same Time Worldwide
When enabled, this option uses the same scheduled time on all devices, regardless of their local time zone. As a result, the playlist will start and stop at exactly the same moment worldwide. This is particularly useful for global announcements or campaigns that need to be displayed simultaneously across multiple countries.

 

Suppress Simultaneous Playlists
When enabled, this playlist takes priority over any other playlists scheduled for the same time period. Normally, content from overlapping playlists is merged and displayed in rotation. With this option selected, only this playlist will be shown, and all other scheduled playlists will be temporarily suppressed. This is useful for displaying important announcements or urgent messages without modifying existing playlist schedules.

Next

Once you are satisfied with the playlist configuration, the final step is to update the content to the device(s). This publishes the playlist and any changes made to its slides, schedule, or settings, ensuring the latest version is available on the selected devices. Until the content is updated, any modifications will remain unpublished and will not appear on the displays.
