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:<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start Date:<\/strong> 2021-10-01<\/p>\n

End Date:<\/strong> 2021-11-01<\/p>\n

Start Time:<\/strong> 00:00:00<\/p>\n

End Time:<\/strong> 00:00:00<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_blurb title=” Day constraints” image=”https:\/\/datapost.co.za\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Day-Constraints.jpg” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”]
