PADS4 Scheduler allows you to edit the design of any scheduled presentation at any time. Once the design is updated, PADS4 automatically ensures the changes are applied immediately to the affected schedule. This functionality is ideal for making live updates to content without needing to recreate or reschedule it.

How to Edit a Schedule’s Presentation Design

There are multiple ways to access the design editor from within PADS4 Scheduler:

Option 1: Using the Ribbon Bar

  1. Select a schedule.
  2. Go to the Home tab.
  3. Click Edit Presentation in the Manage Schedule group.

Option 2: Using the Context Menu

  1. Right-click the desired schedule.
  2. Hover over the Edit option in the context menu.
  3. Select Presentation from the submenu.

Option 3: From the Schedule Editor Window

  1. Open the schedule using any edit method.
  2. Navigate to the Presentations tab.
  3. Click the Edit the Design of the Presentation button (pencil icon).

What Happens Next

  • If the schedule contains only one presentation, PADS4 Designer will launch directly with that presentation.
  • If the schedule contains multiple presentations, the system will prompt you to select which one you wish to edit.

Saving and Applying Changes

Once you’re done editing the presentation in PADS4 Designer:
  1. Click Update Presentation in the Scheduler Actions group of the Designer’s Home tab.
    • This ensures the updated design is applied to the active schedule.
  2. Click Return to Scheduler to go back to PADS4 Scheduler.
The updated design is now live and active within the scheduled period(s) you’ve defined.
