Overview
When emergencies of any kind affect sites where you deploy digital signage, you can use DMP displays
to alert your viewers, warn them about dangers that might affect them, and direct them to safety. Or you
can provide other kinds of information to them as you see fit. Until you stop playing emergency
messages, they override all events that were scheduled to run automatically.
It is important to remember that emergency message insertions in your schedule will override only the
events that are scheduled to run automatically. Furthermore, such insertions will override these events
on only the DMPs that the emergency message insertion affected. All other DMPs in your network will
abide by their schedule, without disruption.
Emergency conditions might prevent messages from playing on your DMP displays.
