Weekly Scheduler in Scheduling Groups

The Scheduler tab, available when creating or editing a filter, allocates advertising content to specific time slots on the weekly grid. Unlike campaigns that require scheduling, static campaigns do not use this tab.

Pre-loaded Bundles and Designs can be selected in the left-hand column and painted onto the weekly grid.

At scheduling stage, the system will perform the following content validations and warning messages:

  • The bundle is empty
  • At least one design in the bundle does not have its approval status set to "Approved"
  • At least one design has the "Do not Play" flag set
  • The bundle or design has any restrictions

You can set content start time with to the minute precision.

To set content start time:

  1. Add a bundle or design to the grid.
  2. Click the Clock icon on the scheduled design.

    3. This presents a pop up window.

  3. Click the clock on the right to select the time down to the minute or type the needed time into the field directly.
  4. Click Save Changes.

Note: The minimal slot duration is 15 minutes.

Tip: When dragging a design onto a bundle, a new bundle is created with the selected design already linked. The bundle name is set to the design’s name.

The last change always wins. There are no user permissions that prevent one digital scheduler from overwriting the changes made by another digital scheduler.
