Creating a Layout List Campaign

  • Go to Campaigns under the Design section of the main CMS menu.

  • Click the Add Campaign button.

  • Use the Type drop down and select Layout List.

  • Give your Campaign a Name for easy identification in the CMS.

  • Optionally use the checkbox to enable Cycle Based Playback, and provide a number to determine how many ‘plays’ a Layout should have before moving onto the next Layout in the Campaign.

If a 2 was set as the Play Count, the same Layout would be shown twice each Schedule loop before moving onto the next Layout in the sequence.
