The Schedule tab allows you to schedule presentations according to time, date, and day of the week and then publish those presentations to your BrightSign players.
This section has an accompanying tutorial video:
Use the Type dropdown list to select one of the following publishing options: BSN.cloud, Local System Storage, Local Network, or Simple File Network. Your players must be configured for the specified publishing type during Device Setup before you publish to them.
By default the destination is set to Local System Storage or whichever location was used last. The BSN.cloud option is only available if the Storage Selector is set to BSN.cloud Content, while the other publishing options require the desktop version of BrightAuthor:connected set to Local Content. |
Distribute your schedule to any number of players over the Internet using BSN.cloud. Select the target BSN.cloud Group for the schedule.
Publish your schedule to a microSD card or USB flash drive. You can also publish to a folder on your computer and copy the files to a storage device later on.
Publish your schedule to a player over the local network.
Publish your schedule to a web-server directory. Players that are set up for Simple File Networking can then retrieve the scheduled presentations from the server URL.
Drag one or more presentations from the Source pane to the schedule area in the center. The Recent Presentations tab provides a list of recently edited presentations.
If you are publishing using BSN.cloud, the BSN.cloud tab lists all presentations saved on your BSN.cloud network. If you are publishing using another method, click the Open button to locate a folder containing presentation files on your local machine.
Click the icon next to a presentation name if you need to edit the presentation before publishing the schedule. |
Once you've added your presentation(s) to the schedule, select a presentation in the schedule area or the Presentation pane on the right to open the Schedule pane. The schedule pane allows you to specify the date and time that a presentation plays:
If you add one presentation to the same time slot as another presentation, the added presentation will function as a Schedule Interrupt presentation. A Schedule Interrupt presentation can occupy the same time slot as other presentations and will play instead of those presentations. Schedule Interrupt presentations are useful when you need to add a new presentation to a regular, recurring schedule that you don't wish to alter permanently.
A Schedule Interrupt presentation is indicated with the icon. You can switch the Schedule Interrupt designation from one presentation to another using the Interrupt Other Presentations checkbox.
Use the Options pane to specify additional publishing options.
Click the Create Setup box to go to the Device Setup screen. This feature allows the user to publish new device settings to players including BrightSign OS updates.
Enable or disable the following debugging options.
These debugging options are disabled by default. |
