If you want to run a media file (or series of files) at a specific time, this is called day-parting.
Laqorr does this by letting you apply very specific timing conditions to Playlists in a Group. Incredibly complex scheduling outcomes can be achieved this way.
DAY-PART PLAYLISTS
In NETWORK / GROUPS choose the group you want to day-part and click EDIT. In the Video feed, add the Playlists you want to run at specific times (click ASSIGN PLAYLIST and choose from the dropdown menu).
To day-part the Playlist, click on REFINE FURTHER and a pop-up box will appear:
- DATES – select a date range for this playlist
- DAY(S) OF WEEK – select days for this playlist to run
- TIME OF DAY – select a time range for this playlist
Click to make your adjustments, noting you can combine two or all three for increased granularity.
Note the “Plays on” confirmation of your selection.
You can also day-part as many playlists as you like. Be careful about the order however – the logic applied to one near the top may prevent one further down from actually playing.
Likewise, ensure you don’t have a playlist marked “Plays At All Times” sitting above other playlists, as this will block every playlist below it.
The final playlist should always say ‘Plays All Other Times”.
The calendar view will confirm which playlists will run when. It gives you a clear, visual sense of how you’ve structured the order in which playlists will run. You can toggle back and forth to see upcoming weeks.
CALENDAR VIEW
Below your Playlists on the Video tab, you’ll see a calendar in thumbnail. This shows how they’ll play out on any given week.
Click on the thumbnail (or the EXPAND button) for a clearer view. You can also use the left and right arrows to view other weeks.
