Assign content to playlists

N.b. We tend to use the following playlists:

  • BSG Student 2017 - applies to student areas; Level -1 WC, outside Group Working Rooms, lift lobbies on level -1 & 4.

  • Full Screen - not applied by default, see the following article to use the Full Screen layout.

Content should be loaded to Zone A for each of these playlists. Content can be loaded to more than one playlist if appropriate.

Click the "Playlists" link and select the playlist and zone you want to assign the content to.

Select "Files and Folders" and navigate to the content you uploaded earlier

Click the "Add" button to add the content to your playlist (note, you can add a folder if you have a lot of content.)

Select the Playlist link, you can use the "edit" button to change the properties of each playlist item. Key options are: Play Criteria - here you can decide which days and times content will be displayed.
