How to Create a Schedule on a Message Board in JamLogic

Synopsis: When your Ver-Mac message boards are added to JamLogic, you will have the ability to create schedules based on your needs and activate them for specific periods of time.

• Level: Intermediate
• Time required: Varies depending on schedule size
• Additional equipment required: PC/Laptop with the latest version of JamLogic installed on it
• Extra information: Schedules can only be created on the desktop version of JamLogic, not on mobile

1. Open the message editor & create all the messages you will need. Then, save them in a folder 

Note: You will also need to create a blank message

2. Right-click on the unit you want to create a schedule for and press Schedule Editor

3. Select the day you want your schedule to start, right-click the blue box, and press Add Program

3.1. Each program = 1 message

3.2. Each schedule will start with a minimum 1 program (the blue portion seen in figure 4)

3.3. In this schedule, we will have 3 different messages, so we will need a total of 3 programs. At first, it will look similar to this

4. Add your messages by clicking the program, then the grey box, the message you need, and press Open

Note: Once added, it should look like this

5. Repeat step #4 with the rest of your messages

6. Use the orange bar to adjust your time slots for the times you need

Note: JamLogic uses a 24-hour clock, so 1:00 = 1 am & 13:00 = 1 pm

• Midnight – 8:00 am: Test 1 message active
• 8:00am – 4:00 pm: Test 2 message active
• 4:00pm - Midnight: Test 3 message active

7. Add your Blank message on the day you want your schedule to stop. In this example, we want our schedule to stop at midnight

Note: If you do not add your Blank message, the last message of your schedule will continuously run until you manually shut it off

Note: These steps will be identical no matter how many different message changes you have in a day.

8. Save your schedule into a folder and give it a name

Extra: What if I want to copy the same messages for an extended period of time?

1. Right-click the day you want to copy and press Periodicity (day)
