How can scheduled content be deployed to a filtered list of devices? 

Deploying your content with EloView may require scheduling the content to be deployed to a specific set of devices in different groups, locations, or other criteria. With this new Scheduled Content enhancement, EloView now allows the use of pre-existing filters from a user’s filter profile or to create new filters to deploy scheduled content to devices. Using this feature makes deploying content to devices in differing groups or locations easy.
 

1. Login to the EloView website -https://manage.eloview.com



2. Click the Schedule tab in the top right portion of the portal.



3. Click Create Content Schedule



4. Fill out the information in the available boxes.

• Name of the schedule
• Application to be deployed
• Icon for Schedule (optional)
• Select Always or During a Period of Time
• UTC time zone deployment is optional

NOTE: Selecting “Always” is comparable to assigning Default Content. The scheduled content will always be displayed on the device(s).  Selecting “During a Period of Time” will allow the choice of what day(s) and times you would like the specified content to be displayed.



5. Once finished entering the Scheduled Content details and parameters, click Only Save or Save and Publish

NOTE: Use “Only Save” if you do not want to publish to devices yet. You can publish a saved schedule anytime by clicking on the schedule again from within the Schedule tab and selecting “Publish”



6. After clicking Save and Publish, a window will appear to select which devices will receive the Scheduled Content. If you decide to use a pre-existing filter from your filter profile, then click the Filter drop down button next to the filter text box.

Here you can filter by:

• Name of Devices
• Serial Number of Devices
• Group Name
• Location of Devices
• OS version
• Content currently installed on devices
• Local Time Zone of devices
• Analytics
• Content Status on devices
• Offline/Online Status of devices
• Orientation of devices
• Site Name
• File Status
• Device Mode
• Now Playing content on devices
• Content Source

7. Click “Publish” and your devices will receive the scheduled content deployment



8. There are multiple methods to verify that the scheduled content has been deployed to a device:

• Single Device – If the scheduled content was deployed to a single device, then navigate to the Device tab and click on the device that was supposed to receive the scheduled content. From there click Contents on Device, and if the schedule was published it will appear under “Publish Content on Device"

• Group of Devices – If the scheduled content was deployed to a group of devices, then navigate to the Device tab and click on the cog next to the group name that was supposed to receive the scheduled content. Click Contents on Group, and if the schedule was published it will appear under “Published Content on Group”

• Filtered List of Devices - If the scheduled content was deployed to a filtered list of devices, then navigate to the Device tab and click on one of the devices that were supposed to receive the scheduled content. Click Content on Device, and if the schedule was published it will appear under “Publish Content on Device”
