From Customer Idea to Feature: Scheduled Playlists for Your Digital Signage

Time Schedule Feature in the SignageNow Digital Signage Software

At SignageNow, we don’t develop our software behind closed doors—we build it with your needs in mind. Recently, we received a request from a prospective customer asking if it was possible to create schedules. Our answer: Yes, we’re working on it - and this feature is now available!

We’re excited to introduce our latest update today: Custom time schedules for every media item.

In digital advertising, one thing matters above all else: relevance. A display in a storefront that’s still promoting the lunch menu in the evening looks unprofessional and wastes potential. With our new feature, your digital signage becomes intelligent. You no longer just control what plays, but precisely when it plays.

Create digital signage schedules with SignageNow

Maximum Flexibility with “Dayparting”

This new feature lets you set a specific time slot for each image, video, or template within a playlist. You have two simple options:

Always display: The classic choice for general information.
Set time period: Here you set the start and end times (e.g., 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM).

We’re particularly proud of the flexibility: Our software also supports schedules that span across the date line. Want to run an ad from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM? No problem—SignageNow handles it reliably for you.

The possibilities for time-controlled digital signage content are almost limitless:

Restaurants: Automatic switching between breakfast, lunch, and happy hour.
Retail: Targeted promotion of after-work specials starting at 4:00 PM.
Government agencies & offices: Display of room occupancy or special office hours.
Real estate agents: Special highlights that are only supposed to light up in the storefront during twilight.
