Basic settings and opening hours

Basic settings and opening hours

In the Location details, configure its name and opening hours separately for each day of the week. Each day can be enabled or disabled, and a start and end time can be set for an active day.

Opening hours also control display operation

Opening hours are more than an organisational setting. At closing time, ScreenSoft Player deliberately stops transmitting the video signal over HDMI. A commercial display configured to respond to the presence of an HDMI signal then enters Standby mode and turns off the image. At the start of the next opening period, the player resumes transmitting the HDMI signal, waking the display and restoring the image.

ScreenSoft thereby also controls screen operating hours, defines the period during which campaigns accumulate impressions, reduces unnecessary operation outside opening hours and helps prolong the life of the commercial display. Opening hours therefore also affect the time actually available for campaign scheduling and delivery.

I want to set when the screen runs

1. Open the relevant Location.
2. Enable or disable operation for each day, and set the start and end times.
3. Save the changes.
4. Remember that this setting does more than define a value in the administration interface: it also defines screen operating hours and the time available for campaign delivery.

Example: if the premises are open Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00 and closed at weekends, enable weekdays from 08:00 to 18:00 and disable Saturday and Sunday.
