How to add Constraints
BackContent Constraints
Types of Content Constraints
Date constraints
Start Date
The date the content, container or saved query will start playing.
End Date
The date the content, container or saved query will stop playing.
Time constraints
Start Time
The time the content, container or saved query will start playing on the Start Date.
End Time
The time on the End Date that the content, container or saved query will stop playing.
Important Note
For content, a container or saved query to play from the first of the month until the end of the month, your constraints must be set up as follows:
Start Date: 2021-10-01
End Date: 2021-11-01
Start Time: 00:00:00
End Time: 00:00:00
The above means that the content, container or saved query will start playing on the 1st of October 2021 & stop playing at midnight of the 31st of October 2021.
Day constraints
The day(s) of the week the content, container or saved query is valid for.
Year Day constraints
The content, container or saved query will only play on the selected day.
