Method One

Workflow

1.Schedule and deploy a recurring event for the first uninterrupted span of dates.

2.Schedule and deploy the one-time event.

3.Schedule and deploy a copy of the first recurring event for the second uninterrupted span of dates.

Method Two

Background

Assume that you have created two DMP groups. This scenario calls them Group_A and Group_B.

For Group_A, schedule an event that recurs throughout the entire span of dates.

For Group_B, schedule the one-time event.

Workflow

1.Move targeted DMPs from Group_A to Group_B when the one-time event should begin.

2.Return the DMPs to Group_A when the one-time event should end.

3.Choose Schedules > Play Now.

4.Click Group_A in the DMP Groups tree.

5.Ctrl-click each DMP that should start again to show the recurring presentation.

6.Choose Select an Event Type > Digital Signs.

7.Click Select Digital Signage.

8.Click the name of the recurring presentation name.

9.Click OK.

Method Three

Background

Assume that the one-time event is live streaming video of an important meeting or conference. You can schedule the interruption far ahead of time and simply set it to occur once.

Workflow

1.Schedule a recurring event to run every weekday, as you might expect, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

2.Schedule the (Go to) URL command to start at 9:05 a.m., so that it interrupts the recurring event but does not conflict with its start time.

3.Schedule the (Go to) URL command to stop at 6:00 p.m.

The recurring event begins again, as expected, at 9:00 a.m. the next day.
