A banner is an overlay you can run on top of a playlist — perfect for promotional messages, tickers, or alerts that need to stay on-screen while the rest of the content rotates.
Find a banner
- Sidebar → My Scheduling → Banners.
- Use Search… by name or filter the columns:
- Status — All / Active / Scheduled / Intermediate / Expired.
- From / To — by schedule window.
- User — by owner.
Create a banner
- Click + New Banner in the top right.
- Name the banner.
- Set the text/content, color, font, and animation.
- Pick a From and To date.
- Attach the banner to displays (or display groups).
- Save.
Inline controls (per row)
- Pause/Play toggle — instantly pause or resume the banner without editing.
- Action menu (right edge) — Edit, Lock (freezes the banner), Duplicate (copy as starting point), or Delete.
Tips
- Use a banner for time-bound promos (“Happy Hour 4–6pm”) rather than baking it into a playlist — easier to swap later.
- Lock finalized brand banners to prevent accidental edits.
