Live agenda schedule #156

Open JonnyTech opened 4 years ago

JonnyTech commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to create a list of times and events then get the signage to refresh every minute to keep the display up to date. We have some meeting rooms at our charity that get booked for various events. Currently we have a static image showing what is in each room at the time. But an agenda would be better. Example:

Now - 10:00 - Discussion 10:00 - 11:00 - Meeting 11:00 - 12:00 - Review 12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch etc

The list would keep updating and change automatically at the required times.

Thanks @tellzey1, that will indeed show the full agenda. What I was looking for was for the application to display relevant details according to the time of day, such as what is on in the rooms right now and when the next event is. Maybe have the schedule stored in a spreadsheet or a database so that the correct information can be extracted. That way the "Now" event would always be current and I can display stuff like "Time remaining" or "Next event starts in X minutes". It also means that the agenda is in one place that can be easily edited without having to go through designing new slides. How possible is that? I saw these image on the homepage which suggested that it is possible:

Got ya. Those look to be the Microsoft Exchange/Qutlook integration functions. I do not have Exchange with my installation, so I have no additional info for you on this. Thanks
