Scheduling Layouts
Introduction
Layout schedules are playlists that contain one or more layouts that will be displayed at a specific date and time.
This article provides the instructions to enable, create, and delete layout scheduling.
Enabling Layout Scheduling
To enable Layout Scheduling, please follow the instructions below:
By default, layout scheduling is disabled in Appspace. Advanced users who wish to schedule layouts based on date and time may enable scheduling by going to the Settings tab on an application, check the box for Layout Scheduling and click Save.
Once scheduling is enabled, the Schedule tab will become visible.
Creating a Layout Schedule
To create a layout schedule, please follow the instructions below.

- Normal Schedule – the application will play content from the schedule when it’s active and content from any lower priority schedules that are active.
