For each media item, it is possible to set a dedicated schedule by accessing the menu with a double-click on the <span class="s1">**Scheduling**</span> column of that media.

You can also set a general schedule by selecting <span class="s1">**TOTAL**</span>.

At this point, you can set:

- <span class="s1">**Date Range:**</span> define the start and end dates.
- <span class="s1">**Recurrence:**</span> set the weekly recurrence.
- <span class="s1">**Time Range:**</span> set the daily time range.

This function allows you to schedule content in advance for future events.

For example, you may schedule videos for the opening or closing hours of a shop. In this case, the media file <span class="s2">**“bruegel.jpg”**</span> will be played from <span class="s2">**8 April 2022 to 30 April 2022**</span>, from <span class="s2">**Monday to Sunday**</span>, between <span class="s2">**9:00 AM and 10:00 PM**</span>.

# Advance Timing

<span class="s1">**Alternation**</span> allows you to alternate the contents.

\- The <span class="s1">**“Times Percent”**</span> function enables you to set a percentage of playback time for a specific media item or for a list, layout, folder, or project.

\- The <span class="s1">**“Times per Hour”**</span> function, on the other hand, allows you to define how many times per hour a specific content should be played.

# Containers

Playlist items can be of two types: <span class="s1">**media**</span> and <span class="s1">**containers**</span>.

**Containers**

- <span class="s1">**Layout:**</span> a tool used to divide the video window into different areas.
- <span class="s1">**List:**</span> allows you to divide the playlist into multiple containers to keep it better organized.

# Layout

[![layout.png](https://manuals.macropix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/scaled-1680-/LaYQHFszOHciqIrM-layout.png)](https://manuals.macropix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/LaYQHFszOHciqIrM-layout.png)

This element allows you to play multiple items in parallel by partitioning the video window.

Once the layout is created, <span class="s1">**List**</span> items must be inserted—one for each partition—while assigning the desired area.

Within each list, the corresponding media contents can then be added. All contents will play simultaneously in synchronization.

<span class="s1">**Note:**</span> the maximum number of partitions depends on the hardware specifications of the PC. A more powerful processor and graphics card will support a higher number of simultaneous processes.
