Work Around

  • You can create a message for each day of the countdown/count up and schedule them within the software to start and stop on specific dates/times.
    1. Create a message for each day in the countdown.
    2. Go to Schedule Studio (V3) or Scheduled Mode in the Schedule Tab (V4).
    3. Add all messages and apply dates each piece would need to play.
