The Timetable functionality in PADS4 Scheduler allows you to manage multiple scheduled entries within a single schedule. By enabling Advanced Mode, even a Simple or Playlist Schedule can be edited and expanded into a multi-destination, multi-period schedule—essentially turning it into an Advanced Schedule.

​
Accessing the Timetable

To edit the timetable of a schedule:
  1. Open the Edit Schedule window for the desired schedule.
  2. Navigate to the Timetable tab.
  3. Click Switch to Advanced Mode.
This will reveal the Timetable view, enabling detailed management of schedule entries.
Note: If access permissions are applied, some destinations or priority levels may be hidden or disabled based on your user rights.

​
Timetable Screen Overview

The screen is divided into two main areas:

​
1. The Timetable (Top Section)

Displays a list of scheduled entries with the following columns:
  • From / Until (display period)
  • Destination
  • Priority
  • Recurrence (if applicable)

​
2. Individual Schedule Entry (Bottom Section)

When you select an item in the timetable, its details appear below:
  • Destination: Select the Viewer or Viewer Group
  • Display Period: Set the start and end time
  • Priority: Choose the display priority
  • Recurrence: (Optional) Add or edit recurrence patterns
This section provides the same controls and layout as used in Simple and Playlist Schedules.
You can manage as many timetable entries as needed, allowing a single schedule to target different content, destinations, times, or even priorities.

​
Permissions & Access Control

  • If user permissions are applied, only destinations with at least read access will be displayed.
  • You can only assign to destinations for which you have write access.
  • You’ll only see priority levels that your user account is authorized to use.
