As soon as the script is complete, the playlist will resume playing on the display. Note: If multiple messages have been selected for priority, then this option will be disabled.
    • Add to playlist- will not interrupt the playlist on the display. Rather the messages contained in the script are added to the end of the playlist.

    • Continuous will allow the script to play continuously until the message(s) are removed from the playlist.
    • Number of Times will allow the operator to set a limit to the number of times the message(s) in the script will appear on the display.
    • Select a frame will allow the operator to select an individual frame of a message to be displayed. This option is only available when Clear the Playlist and Play a Message is selected. The Select a Frame option is disabled when multiple messages are selected to run.

Run a Script:
Once a script is created, it will appear as a button in the cell for which it was created. Click the button to run the script.

Note: Messages contained in the script need to be sent to the Stored Messages list as the script itself will not actually send the message(s) to the display(s). The script messages can be sent to the display by right-clicking on the script cell. Choose Send Script Messages and the script messages will be sent to the Stored Messages list.
