How To Assign A Playlist

ASSIGN A PLAYLIST

It’s easy to assign a playlist (or playlists) to a Group.

First open a Group, click EDIT then click on Assign Playlist and make a choice. If you have a split-screen layout that has more than one Feed, make sure each one has been assigned a Playlist.

You can have more than one playlist in each Feed list – by default, these will appear in descending order. You can change the order of the playlists by moving them up or down the list.

If you assign more than one playlist, you can day-part each one by Date, Day or Time to depending on when you want the Playlist and its content to play. See HOW TO DAY-PART A PLAYLIST to learn more.

Laqorr will want to play from the top of the list. Be sure to check that all your choices will in fact play, and that one higher up the playlist isn’t blocking one further down.

Make use of the Calendar which will show you when each Playlist will actually play.

ASSIGN PLAYERS TO GROUPS

The function of a Group is to send the same content from the same playlists to all the Players assigned to that Group.

If you want some of your players to run a different playlist of content, you should create a new Group with a new set of playlists for those players.

To ASSIGN players to a Group, click EDIT and scroll to the bottom of the page where you’ll see two windows: Member Players and Non-Member Players.

Every player in your network will appear in one of these windows. Simply move the players you want in this Group into the Member Players window. Scroll to the top and click Apply.

At the bottom of the Group page, you’ll see all the players in that Group, the site they belong to, and the State they reside in.

The Edit History tab shows all activity that has happened in that Group (changes to playlists or player configuration etc).

PREVIEW A PLAYLIST

Navigate to any Player to preview the playlist that’s been assigned to that player. It will include any Auto-Scheduled files that have been selected to play.

Simply click on the thumbnail image above a player’s name. A preview pane will show the full playlist of content as it would appear on screen. If there are video files, they will start playing automatically.

PREVIEW FROM GROUPS

Navigate to any Group where you can click on the thumbnail of a file in Playlist to preview it.

A window will appear in which you can view that file. If it’s a video, it will start playing automatically.
