Exception from repeats when scheduling

[Micke_Salloum]

Hi

I am showing 2 layouts on one display, a default layout + a scheduled layout showing 3 hours every day between 11:00-14:00 and this is repeating every day and everything works fine. What i need is to make exception for certain days (let us say Christmas day) where i want to show the default layout only. Is there a way to achieve that?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Micke_Salloum, thanks for your post.

The default layout is designed to display when:

• There are no other events scheduled.
• There is an issue with the scheduled events, causing the default layout to appear.

With this in mind, there are a couple of ways to achieve what you want.

1. Create a scheduled event for the layout you use as the default layout, so it displays for those specific days/times. If you set the event to have a higher priority value than the regular event, it will show at that time instead of the usual schedule.

2. You would need to set your event to end before that day, so that there is nothing scheduled at that time. That will ensure that the default layout is displayed. There isn’t a date exception option when creating a scheduled event, so the event would have to not be running so that the default layout can be displayed.

I would personally recommend option 1, but the choice is of course yours

Many Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Option 1 sounds great
