Assign a Program to a Location

Assign a Program to a Location


Assigning a Program to a Location is Step 4 of the process described in Top View - How UMix Works.  This is the final step.  After this, the UMix player in the location will get your assigned program and play according to your selections.
  1. Pick playlists you want to hear (check boxes)
  2. Add playlists to your schedule (drag/drop)
  3. Add a schedule(s) to your Program (drop-down list)
  4. Associate a Program with each location (drop-down list)
There's nothing to it.  Just use the drop-down on your Locations page to assign the Music Program to the location.

Assign a Program to a Location

We save your changes immediately.  However, there are two more steps before you hear the changes.  First, we use your saved information to create files the player needs using our own scheduled task on our servers.  That runs every five minutes.  Then your player calls out to our servers every 30 minutes.  So it may take up to 35 minutes before you hear any changes in your location(s).
