Volume Schedules

Introduction

This feature allows you to create many different Volume Schedules and assign them to your players from the Audio/Video tab. The Volume Schedule feature allows you to customize your player’s volume sound output during the day.


Adding a Volume Schedule

Volume schedule entries

You can create a Volume Schedule by clicking the “+Add Volume Schedule.” As a next step, name your new Volume Schedule.

The calendar that appears gives you the option to view the month, week, or even day of your choice by clicking on the relevant buttons. By default, you can see the current date. However, you can move to the previous or next month/week/day by clicking the arrows next to the “Today” button.

On the right side of the screen, there is the “Entries” column under which you can find all of the sound configurations you have assigned and used within a specific Volume Schedule.

As a next step, click on the “+Add” button, and a new window appears called “New Event.” Move the Volume slider to choose the Sound output of your players (as a percentage).
