Working with the Schedule

The Schedule contains a default Layout and may contain other Layouts that will appear at certain times of day or days of week.

The default Layout will appear on the screen at all times when no other Layout is scheduled.

If a Layout is set to show when another non-default Layout is being shown then the Layout with the most recent start time will be shown.

How to Schedule Layouts

1. Log into the NTB as an administrator.

Click on 'Schedule'.

Set the Default Layout:

2. Click "Edit" for the default (blue shaded) item.

3. For "Screen" select "Off" if you want the display screen to be shut down by default (recommended).

4. Click 'Save'.

Add a Scheduled Layout:

5. Click on the "Add Entry" tab

6. Click the "Add" button.

Select a Layout from the "Show Layout" drop-down list.

9. Click "Save Changes" button.

Repeat step 4 for every Layout that must be scheduled.

10. Click the "Activate" button to make the change go live.

1. In the "Schedule" page, click on "Add Override".

2. Give the override a name the describes what it does (e.g. Special TV Event), select the layout that should be shown and click "Add Override".

The named layout will be shown indefinitely until the normal Schedule is re-activated.
