# Playlist

The Playlist Module allows users to compile and control a sequence of content, like images, videos, and SOPs, for playback on paired screens. With flexible time settings and an easy drag-and-drop interface, you can create dynamic and structured playlists to streamline communication across your shop floors.

## Creating a New Playlist

To create a new playlist:

2. Enter a name for your playlist (e.g., “Assembly Line Updates – July”)

## Add Content to the Playlist

Once your playlist is created:

1. Click **“+ Add Content”** inside the playlist editor.
2. The system will open your **Library** with all available media items.
3. Use filters to find content

You can add:

- Images
- Videos
- SOPs

## Set Time Duration for Playback

Once your content is added, you can set the duration for which each item should be displayed on the screen.

| Content Type | Default Duration | Editable |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Image | 10 seconds | Yes |
| SOP | 10 seconds/page | Yes |
| Video | Full duration | No |

- **Images** and **SOPs**: Click the time icon next to the item to adjust display time (e.g., increase to 20 seconds).
- **Videos**: These will automatically play till the end.

## Preview the Playlist

Before publishing, you can preview how your playlist will play on the screen:

## Publish the Playlist

Once all content is added and durations are set:

To display a playlist on a screen:

1. Go to the **Screen Module**.
2. Choose the screen (or screen group) where you want to display content.
3. Select the **Playlist** tab.

## **Manage and Search Playlists**

- Use filters to search for playlists efficiently:
- **Status** (Draft/Published)

## **Additional Playlist Actions**

On the playlist listing screen, click the “⋮” options icon to perform:

- **Duplicate** – Copy an existing playlist to reuse or modify.
- **Edit** – Make changes to an existing playlist’s content or duration.
- **Delete** – Permanently remove the playlist from your organization’s records.

## **How Content Appears on the TV**

Once a playlist is assigned to a screen:

## **Offline Playback Support**

If your screen temporarily loses internet access:

- Cached playlist content will continue to display.
- Once reconnected, the screen will sync and display the latest updates.
