Scheduling layouts

This is used to set the time and period when the layout is to be published. You can specify the start and end time for which a specific layout will be valid; multiple schedules for different layouts can overlap where the destinations do not clash. There can be only one current scheduled layout or destination type.

Viewing the schedule

To display the timeline for a layout, on the Rails Builder page, select the required layout and then click VIEW SCHEDULE .

Setting the default layout

Before you can schedule any additional layouts, you must configure a layout as the default. The default layout will be shown when there are no other layouts scheduled. It runs indefinitely from when it is created, and targets all devices regardless of what may have been selected when it was created.

The default layout is displayed on the bottom row of the timeline on the Schedule Layout page.

To set a layout as the default:

1. On the Rails Builder page, select the required layout and click SCHEDULE LAYOUT .
2. A confirmation message is displayed, click the SET AS DEFAULT button.

To change the default layout:

1. On the Rails Builder page, select Set as Default... from the layout  menu.
   Alternatively, on the Schedule Layout page, click  Set as Default.
2. A confirmation message is displayed, click the SET AS DEFAULT button.

Scheduling additional layouts

Rather than attempt to schedule default changes, NAGRA recommends a single default is used and changes are targeted via new layouts that can be individually scheduled. 

To schedule a layout on the Rails Builder page:

1. Select the required layout and click VIEW SCHEDULE .
2. On the Schedule Layout page, click  Edit Schedule to display the calendar popup and select the required start and end dates and times.
   Alternatively, click the required start time in the timeline and just select the end time in the calendar
3. Click the SCHEDULE button. 

To schedule a layout on the Schedule Layout page:

1. Using the Previous Layout and Next Layout buttons, select the required layout.
2. Click  Edit Schedule to display the calendar popup and select the required start and end dates and times.
   Alternatively, click the required start time in the timeline and just select the end time in the calendar
3. Click the SCHEDULE button. 

Deleting a schedule
