Adjusting the Playback Mode​

To configure the playback mode of an asset:

  • Select the page where you wish to set the playback mode
  • Click the button to open playlist page settings.
  • In the Playlist page settings modal, find the Playback Mode dropdown menu.
  • Select one of the following options:

Default Mode​

By default, assets rotate sequentially within the playlist. This means:

  • Both scheduled and unscheduled assets will play in order.
  • Expired assets (those outside of their scheduling window) are skipped automatically.
  • This mode is ideal for general-purpose rotation of content.

Exclusive Mode​

Use Exclusive Mode when you need a specific asset to play without interruption or competition from others in the playlist. This is especially useful for:

  • Time-sensitive events
  • Displaying menu boards for specific times of the day (e.g., lunch, happy hour, dinner)

When an asset is set to Exclusive mode, no other assets will play during its scheduled time.

Fallback Mode​

Fallback Mode ensures that something always plays, even if all other assets are expired or unscheduled. This is useful when:

  • All scheduled assets have ended
  • You haven't updated the playlist in time

By setting an asset to Fallback mode, you prevent black screens and ensure continuous display.
