2. Select the Duplicate button. Select what time period you want to duplicate. This opens the Duplicate dialog box.

Scheduling Day Part Menus 

You can schedule day and evening menus (day parts) by dragging and dropping playlists into the Scheduling Grid. This opens the Time slot dialog box, where you can adjust the time slots for each playlist. For example, to have the menus switch from day to evening, adjust the start and end times so that they are sequential.
 

 

 

Publish a Playlist From the Scheduling Grid or Monitoring Tab  

Note: Delphi Support recommends that prior to publishing your content, you unselect all the media players on the Players window and then re-select the media player(s) you want to publish the content to. 

You can publish a playlist from the Scheduling Grid or from the Monitoring tab. 

To publish a playlist from the Scheduling Grid:

Note: If you choose to publish from the Scheduling Grid, no confirmation message or status update appears confirming the successful publication of the content.

From the Scheduling Grid, select the Publish button. This triggers the playlist to be published to your media player(s). Your screen may go black before displaying the content. 

   

To publish a playlist from the Monitoring tab: 

Note: Your media player must display a green or yellow colored connection status, otherwise you will be unable to publish content.
 

1. From the top navigation bar, select the Monitoring tab. 
2. This opens the Monitored Players screen. On this screen, select the Publish button to publish the playlist to the selected media players. This triggers a progress bar to appear under the Status column. 

If the update is successful, the publication date appears under the Date column.

 

You can defer publication to another day or time by selecting the Deferred option under the ASAP dropdown menu. When you select the Deferred option, this opens a date and time picker. Select your new publication date and time and then the Publish button. The deferred date and time will be in effect unless another user publishes changes to the same media player.
