A playlist can rotate several dashboards on one screen: say, occupancy, then bookings, then the weather. Each web page item in a playlist has its own reload setting. In this article you'll set it up.
You'll need: the editor, admin or owner role, and your dashboards added as web pages.
Add dashboards to a playlist
- Open the playlist from Playlists, or create one with New playlist.
- Select Add media or layout and pick a web page, for example "Occupancy dashboard". Web pages start at 60 seconds.
- Adjust Show for so people have time to read it.
Set the reload interval
Web page items have a Reload menu on their row:
- Use the page's setting: uses the Reload every choice saved on the web page in the media library. This is the default.
- Never, Every minute, Every 5 minutes, Every 15 minutes or Every hour: overrides the page's setting in this playlist only.
Select Save playlist when you're done.
Tips for dashboard playlists
- Choose Cut (no transition) under Transition, so dashboards don't blur into each other while loading.
- Give slow dashboards a longer Show for, because the first few seconds are spent loading.
- Set Zoom on each web page in the media library so small dashboards are readable across the room.
- Web pages need the screen to be online. If the screen may lose internet, add a picture or video too, so the loop always has something to show.
