Appspace offers built-in utilities for adjusting how often certain content will play on the screen.
This feature can allow a content admin to prioritize certain pieces of content over others or ensure a piece of content plays at least or no more than a certain number of times.
To locate the frequency restrictions, navigate to a channel and then select a folder or piece of content:
On a folder, click the pencil, then "Configure folder settings", and "Playout Properties".
On a single piece of content, find the one you wish to change and click on the series of icons representing Playout Properties:
Once on the Playout Properties screen, there are several things you can adjust:
- Change the transition that plays between slides
- Change how Appspace crops or stretches content items
See this KB article for more information on Aspect Ratio
- Set how long the content should play for.
Note: on folders, this setting applies to each item in the folder.
- Sets the Volume that videos should play at
- Adjust how often pieces of content should be played.
