Creating and Managing Schedules creating-and-managing-schedules
Schedules in AEM Screens let you organize channels into reusable groups so that you do not have to repeat their assignment individually for each display on which you want to show your content.
Schedules, when combined with DayParting, lets you set a global schedule with multiple channels running at specific times of the day, and reuse that set up for all your displays at once.
