4.      Click on the blue zone in Step 1 you’d like to change.

  • Add a new app to the schedule by clicking an app under Step 2. (Your current apps only appear if they are built to fit in the zone selected)
  • Edit the duration of the apps in Step 3 by changing the minutes and seconds next to each app in the list (Minimum amount of time suggested is 00:30 seconds per layout). No need to hit Save or Enter.
  • Arrange the order of your apps in Step 3 with the Sort Order up and down arrows
  • Users can also remove items display by deleting it from the schedule in Step 3 

Note: Once setting a new time duration in Step 3, the timing automatically sets and changes, Users simply have to reload their Screens so that changes made apply to the display.
