Create playlists

A playlist is an ordered sequence of media items and creatives. Playlists are what you assign to screens (or to zones within a layout), and they're the most common way to get content onto a display.

Create a playlist​

  1. Go to Playlists and click New Playlist.
  2. Give it a name.
  3. Add items: choose media from your library or published creatives.
  4. Drag items to reorder them.
  5. Set a duration per item if you want it to display for a specific length of time.

The playlist's total duration is calculated automatically from the item durations, so you can see at a glance how long a full loop takes.

Organise playlists​

  • Folders — group related playlists together.
  • Tags — filter and find playlists by topic.
  • Move — move a playlist between folders without breaking assignments.

Playlist types​

Xignage supports a couple of playlist flavours:

  • Standard playlists — the default, assignable to zones within a layout.
  • Screen playlists — scoped to a single screen.
  • Multiscreen playlists — built for multiscreen displays, where each screen in the wall renders its own slice of the content.

Assign a playlist to a screen​

  1. Open the target screen (or its layout).
  2. Assign the playlist to a zone.
  3. Publish the change so the screen picks it up.

Schedule a playlist​
