Playlist Page Settings

  • This article covers universal playlist page settings available across all page types. For type-specific options, refer to individual page documentation.

Page duration​

  • In Page duration field you can enter a duration value to overwrite the default duration.
  • This feature is not available in ePaper compatible playlists.
  • When using a Continuous slider layout, the item duration will overwrite the page duration.

Image fit and Video fit​

  • The Image fit and Video fit options refer to how an image or video element is resized or scaled to fit within a given space.
    • By default, elements use the Inherit setting, which applies the playlist's Default image fit or Default video fit configuration to the elements.

Advertiser​

  • You can assign advertisers to playlist pages to collect proof of play report.

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
    • Exclusive
    • Fallback

Each mode determines how the asset behaves relative to other assets in the playlist.

Managing by playback mode type​

You can manage your playlist in Timeline view by playback mode type.

Default Mode​

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

  • All 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, guest welcome screen)

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.

Device tag​

  • You can define by device tags, which devices can play the given playlist page.
