Manage Your Digital Menu Board Playlists

What are the steps to create a new playlist and add media to it from my library?

Playlists allow you to organize your media and control exactly when and how your content appears on screen.

Why Use Playlists?

• Stay Organized: Arrange your images and videos in a specific, custom order.
• Smart Scheduling: Set your menus to change automatically at specific times or dates (like switching from breakfast to lunch).
• Flexible Playback: Choose to loop your content continuously or follow a precise timer.
• Mix & Match: Combine different formats, including videos, photos, and live web content.
• Easy Deployment: Once your playlist is ready, simply assign it to any of your screens.

To create your playlist, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the Playlist Manager within your Engage dashboard to open it.
2. Select the +PLAYLIST button at the top of the window. You can also right-click anywhere in the Playlist window and select Add Playlist.
3. When the pop-up appears, type in a name that makes it easy to identify (e.g., "Main Lunch Menu"). Select OK to save the name.
4. Locate your saved files in the Content Library.
   1. Drag and drop your images or videos directly into your new playlist.
   2. Move items up or down to arrange them in your preferred order.
5. Select your playback preferences, such as how many seconds each item should stay on the screen.
6. Enable Looping if you want the content to repeat throughout the day.
