Support Request: Scheduling content in Sitecaster

Description

im running a siteremote server and after adding content in sitecaster and adding files to the channel, i want to set a start/stop time and date for each content item, but am not able to find this function anywhere.

so the question is:
How can i set a start and stop date and time for each content item, so it does not show on screen, like any other Digital signage solution has.

Hello,

In the broadcast settings at the schedule page you can configure at which date and time the added campaign(s) should be displayed. You can configure that setting for each campaign when adding it to the broadcast or afterwards with a right click on the little triangle right beside the Campaign name and choosing “Edit”.

Further information you will find in the online help:

We have a campaign with around 20 customers and each advertising showing has a different start and stop date. What would you advise how to solve this? We also have many different broadcasts.

For example 1 broadcast on 6 screens hold 20 customers another one with 15 customers. Each advert needs a different start and stop date.

Hello,

If you have 20 client machines where you need to play the same campaigns but with different start and stop times you need to create 20 broadcast and put the corresponding campaign(s) to them.
Then you can configure the start and stop times for each campaign separately at each broadcast which you publish then to the different machine(s).

sorry, i dont understand this and sounds really complicated.

using signagelive now and would like to move to sitecaster.

in signagelive i have 1 playlist for a network (network exists of these 6 pcs)
inside this playlist are all the assets (advertisements image or video).
each asset inside the playlist can be assigned a start/stop date/time. so it only shows in the period specified.

we have around 40+ networks.

am i correct that i can say that a network in signagelive is like a Broadcast in Sitecaster?
and the playlist is the Campaign? (i see you can add more campaigns to a broadcast, but to add one for each customer would be crazy)
if i would need to make 1 campaign for each customer, that would mean, 30+ campaigns * adding each campaign to a broadcast (30 times) and then doing this 40+ times (for each network). thats off course impossible to maintain as ads come and go multiple times a day.

i always though that you could set a start/stop date/time for a single asset. thats what it makes a digital signage solution. should also be easy to add. what can you do? please help me out here.

Hello,
a campaign can contain one or multiple elements. It determines the display length of each element. One or more campaigns can be assigned to a broadcast.
A broadcast contains one or more campaigns and determines the date at which to show the campaign or campaigns that are part of the broadcast. It is basically a campaign playlist.
A broadcast can be assigned to one or multiple terminals.
