With Schedules in the Zmags Publicator you can preset when to display publications on your website. You only need to add the schedule URL to your website once, because the URL is controlled by all the publications in the schedule. When there is no active publication for the schedule, it optionally may be set to link to a website instead.



Create a schedule:
Click the Create Schedule button to assign a name to your new schedule, after which you will be returned to the Schedules page. To add a Publication to your new Schedule, click the View icon in the Schedules table, then click the Add Publication button. Once a Publication has been added to a Schedule, you can then assign a Start and End date.

Additional Functions:
In addition to creating a schedule, the following functions are available via the corresponding column (icon) in the Schedules table:
 - View (Displays a list of the Publications for a given Schedule)
 - Edit (Edit the name of a Schedule)
 - Remove (Delete a Schedule from the list)
 - URL (Displays the URL for a given schedule , along with the option to view the link in a new tab)



To create a new Schedule, enter the name and click “Create”. Afterward, you will be returned to the top level Schedules screen where you can click "View" to add details to the Schedule (choose publication, enter start and end date, define link type and enter URL).



Here you’ll find a list of the Publications contained in the chosen schedule.
