Inspired Signage XPress Programming

3.Drag and drop from the browsing panel of your XPress project any individual media you want to schedule into the calendar view in the Editing panel. Define the start duration of each media and its recurrence pattern, if desired.

4.Repeat the previous step for each media you want to schedule and save your changes.

5.Open the index.svg file of your XPress project. Drag and drop the new.ics file as a new layer into your index.svg file.

6.Save your changes.

The file index.svg may already contain layers. You may decide to remove the existing layers and leave a single one associated to the new.ics. In this case when you publish your project to a IS-SPX Player, the content will be played

according to your schedule. You may also decide to combine your schedule with a background image, which would be an additional layer in your index.svg. This choice would guarantee that at least the background image will be displayed

for those time periods when you have not planned any content. Multiple layers may also be combined with multiple schedules.
