What is the Weekly Recurring Schedule?
The Weekly Recurring Schedule will allow you to publish Playlists and Layouts regularly over multiple weeks. You can learn how to create a Playlist here. The default setting for weekly recurrence is one week; however, you can alter this to any number of weeks you would like.
Why would you use Weekly Recurring schedules?
This feature is helpful if you want to pre-plan your content playback weekly or monthly. You can pre-plan playlists for each week of the month. A good example is regular content, such as end-of-month sales reports that you only wish to display in the final week of your signage screens playback for the month or week specific menu-boards.
Example: Changing the setting from 1 to 2 would schedule this content to display every other week.

To access the Weekly Recurrence feature:
Log in to your Signagelive account
Go to Content tab
Choose Publish
Select Between chosen dates and times
If you change the selected days to be Play on selected days you will be prompted to select which days you would like your scheduled content to appear.
You will also have the choice to select 'Every X Week(s)':
If this is highlighted, your content during this published schedule will only appear on the chosen days within a weekly recurrence, beginning from the Start date you select for the schedule
By publishing multiple Playlists or Layouts over different Start dates, you can arrange regular rotations of content on a multiple week duration.
You will still have the choice to select Start and End dates for your content and specific times of day
Please Note
We advise that you set a “When nothing else is scheduled” piece of content to make sure there is always something ready to display on your player.
