What a Schedule is

A Schedule is a time rule that temporarily makes one immutable Playlist version active on one Channel. When its window ends, the Channel returns to its Default Playlist.
Create Schedule panel with name, Channel, timing type, timezone, and Playlist

A Schedule binds one Channel to one Playlist version, timing rule, and timezone.

​
Timing types

Every Schedule has a timezone. The entered clock time is interpreted in that timezone, not in the browser’s current timezone.

​
Create a Schedule

  1. Open Schedules and select Create Schedule.
  2. Enter a recognizable Schedule name.
  3. Select the Channel.
  4. Select Always, One time, or Weekly.
  5. Set the timezone and timing fields.
  6. Select the exact Ready Playlist version to play.
  7. Select Create.
The Channel needs a Default Playlist before the Schedule can be safely enabled. That fallback is restored when the timed override ends.

​
Understand the two status badges

An Enabled Schedule can be Upcoming, Active, or Ended. A Paused Schedule keeps its timing definition but does not execute it.

​
Runtime occurrences

Layarva creates execution records for the Schedule boundaries. A start occurrence activates the scheduled Playlist; an end occurrence restores the Channel fallback. The detail page shows whether the latest occurrence is waiting, processing, completed, missed, skipped, or needs attention.

​
Manage a Schedule

  • Edit Schedule changes the timing or target configuration.
  • Pause Schedule stops execution without deleting the definition.
  • Resume Schedule plans remaining occurrences again.
  • Duplicate as Draft creates a safe editable copy.
  • Delete Schedule removes it; verify that the Channel has another valid playback rule first.
