What are playlists used for?
Playlists are used to schedule multiple pieces of content that will show after each other (a loop). Each item can be scheduled to play at a specific date and/or time, so you can have certain items only pop up during the coffee break for example.
How to make a playlist?
Go to the “Playlists” tab. If the form is not already showing, press “Create playlist” or click on the + sign at the top right to create a new one.
To create your playlist, all that is required is a name. This can be anything you want to call it.
Other than the name, there are other settings that will be explained below.
These are all optional settings.
Animation: pick an animation that will show between switching the active item. Note: animations might be disabled on low-end devices.
Image scaling: as you see, there are 4 options: original, contain, cover and fill. The images you see is how your images and videos will be transformed and shown.
Image backdrop blur: if you image does not fill the whole screen, optionally add a backdrop behind it of the same picture blurred out.
Maximum length (s): force the playlist to stay within a set amount of seconds, so you cannot go over this length
Specify content settings: configure the content that is allowed in this playlist. By default, all content can be added.
Only allow subsequence management: this setting will make it unable to create alternating groups. It has a very specific use case and is often not used.
