If you’ve created presentations using PADS4 Designer and saved them as .PADSX files to your local drive or network storage, you can schedule them directly by dragging and dropping them into PADS4 Scheduler. This feature provides a fast and intuitive way to schedule existing presentations without manually browsing for files.

​
How to Drag & Drop a Presentation into Scheduler

​
Prerequisites:

  • Ensure both PADS4 Scheduler and Windows Explorer are open and positioned so that both windows are visible.

​
Steps:

  1. Locate the presentation file
    • In Windows Explorer, navigate to the .PADSX file you want to schedule.
  2. Click and hold the file with your mouse.
  3. Drag the file over to the PADS4 Scheduler window.
    • Your mouse cursor will change to indicate that a file can be dropped (usually a small document icon appears).
  4. Release the mouse button to drop the file onto the Scheduler interface.

​
What Happens Next

  • The Schedule Wizard will launch automatically.
  • The selected .PADSX file will already be loaded into the wizard.
  • From this point forward, the scheduling process follows the same steps as a Simple Schedule:
    • Enter a name
    • Choose destination
    • Define display period and priority
    • (Optionally) apply recurrence
    • Click Finish to complete the schedule
