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> D igital 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.
