hi is there a way to schedule certain content that for example a frame is only displayed on monday to friday from a certain time til a certain time every week, for example train departure times every weekday from 1pm to 20pm for example

Hi Lucas,

The options from within the DM user interface is limited to Begins On and Expires On dates however it would be easy to manipulate these fields (found in the table "Frame" in the Display Monkey database) using a SQL script and SQL agent. E.g. the agent would turn on the frame on Monday at 1pm by setting appropriate Being and Expire dates. Once the Expire date and time are valid a new Begin and Expire date for Tuesday could be set.

Another option would be to use a SSRS report to show train departure times. The logic in the report would show or hide depending on the day and time of day.

Is this still an issue or can we close?
