How to set start and expiry dates on content
If you have an image or video that relates to a specific event you can set a start and expiry date. This will ensure the media only gets displayed when it’s relevant.
Working with dates
Log in to your account and head to the Content Library.
In this example, we will work with the Demo HD beach video so click on that.
Setting an expiry date
On the right side of the screen you will find the Schedule. Click on the Expiry date & time and enter the date when you would like the media to expire.
Save your changes.
Once an expiry date has been entered, the media will play normally on screens until the expiry date is reached. After the expiry date, the media will automatically be removed from any playlists that it appears in.
It will still show in the content library but with an ‘Expired’ badge.
Start dates
Start dates work in a similar fashion. When a start date is entered, the item can be placed in a playlist but it will not display on any screens until the start date is reached.
Media with a start date set will show with a green ‘Scheduled’ badge.
If the item appears in any playlists, it will also carry a ‘Scheduled’ badge.
