Creating and editing a playlist

Introduction

This article walks through creating a new playlist from scratch and editing an existing one. You'll add slides, reorder them, configure their settings, and publish. Once published, the playlist plays on every screen you've assigned it to.

Step 1: Create a new playlist

Start in the Platform:

• Sign in to app.infoboxi.com.
• Open Playlists (FI: Soittolistat) from the side menu.
• Click Create playlist (FI: Luo soittolista) at the top of the page.
• Enter a Playlist name (required) and an optional Description.
• Click Create playlist to confirm.
• The new playlist opens in the editor.

Step 2: Add slides

Build the playlist's content:

• Click Add new slide in the slide list.
• Pick one of the three slide types available in playlists: Image, Video, or iFrame (a website URL).
• Configure it: upload a file, pick one from the Media Library, or paste a URL.
• To show PDF pages in a playlist, upload the PDF to the Media Library first and add the processed pages via the Image option.
• Click Add to add the slide to the playlist.
• Repeat for as many slides as you need.

Step 3: Reorder slides

Set the play order:

• Drag slides up or down in the list to change their order.
• Slides play in top-to-bottom order, looping continuously when the last slide finishes.

Step 4: Edit individual slides

Fine-tune per-slide behaviour:

• Click any slide to open its settings.
• Configure display duration, schedule, rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°), and visibility.
• Use the Change action to swap a slide's image or video; the slide's schedule, duration, and visibility are preserved.
• Click Save to keep the changes.

Step 5: Publish

Push the playlist live:

• Click Publish (FI: Julkaise) at the top of the editor.
• The button shows Publishing... briefly.
• A success toast confirms: "Playlist published successfully" (FI: "Soittolista julkaistu onnistuneesti").
• Within a few seconds, every screen using this playlist starts playing the new content.

Editing an existing playlist

Updating the playlist later:

• From Playlists, click the playlist you want to edit.
• Make your changes (add, remove, or reorder slides; change settings).
• Click Publish to push the changes to all assigned screens.
• Save draft (FI: Tallenna luonnos) is also available if you want to save changes without publishing yet.

Summary

Playlists are the building blocks of multi-screen content. Once created and published, they play wherever they're assigned, and one edit updates every assigned screen at once.
