Playlists & Schedules
How playlists and schedules differ, and exactly which one wins when two overlap.
A playlist is an ordered list of content items. A schedule tells the platform when and where a playlist plays.
When two schedules overlap, the platform picks one deterministically:
- Higher priority wins.
- On equal priority, screen-scoped beats group-scoped beats org-wide.
- On equal scope, the most recently updated wins.
- On a complete tie, lexicographic schedule ID wins.
Daypart windows (e.g. 09:00–17:00) are evaluated in the screen’s timezone, not yours, so a screen in Tokyo plays its lunchtime content at Tokyo lunchtime.
