Available only on the Premium/Enterprise plan!
This feature is only available on the “Pro/Enterprise” Plan. If you are not on the “Pro/Enterprise” Plan, you might not see some menus below. Remember that the “Premium/Enterprise” Plan is free if you manage only one screen to evaluate these features quickly.
This feature allows you to create many different Volume Schedules and assign them to your players from the Sound/Display tab. The Volume Schedule feature allows you to customize your player’s volume sound output during the day.
Adding a Volume Schedule
You can create a Volume Schedule by clicking “+Add Volume Schedule.” The next step is to name your new Volume Schedule.
The calendar that appears gives you the option to view the month, week, or even day of your choice by clicking on the relevant buttons. By default, you can see the current date. However, you can move to the previous or next month/week/day by clicking the arrows next to the “Today” button.
On the right side of the screen, there is the “Entries” column under which you can find all of the sound configurations you have assigned and used within a specific Volume Schedule.
As a next step, click on the “+Add” button, and a new window appears called “New Event.” Move the Volume slider to choose the Sound output of your players (as a percentage).
- Set the Start Date and Time you want your Volume Schedule played, and fill in the information in the ” First Start” box. To schedule the time, click on the clock icon.
- Set the End Date and Time for the Volume Schedule played, again fill in the information in the “First Stop” box. To schedule the time, click on the clock icon.
- The next box, “Repeat,” indicates the frequency at which your Volume Schedule will be played. Click to choose one of the options provided:
- Once if you want your Volume Schedule to play only during specific hours on a specific day/date.
- Daily, if you want to set which days of the week you wish your Volume Schedule to play,
- Weekly, if you want your Volume Schedule to be played once per week.
- Monthly, if you want your Volume Schedule to be played once per month.
- Yearly, if you want your Volume Schedule to be played once per year.
4. Finally, “Repeat Until” indicates the time frame for which you want to set your schedules. You can either select a specific date and time or click “End of time” so that your schedule will always be displayed as indicated.
