The point of assigning by label is that the number of screens stops mattering.
The pattern
- Label the screens by something that does not change:
frankfurt,plant-floor,reception. - Assign the playlist to the label.
- Edit the playlist whenever the content changes.
Every screen carrying the label picks up the change on its next sync. You never touch a screen, and you never reassign the playlist.
A new screen joins by being given the label, which means bringing a site online is a labelling job rather than a content job. See Labels.
Several labels on one playlist
A playlist can target more than one label, and plays on any screen carrying any of them. That lets the same content serve different parts of the organization without duplicating the playlist.
Duplicating a playlist to reach a second group is usually a mistake. Two copies drift, and the day someone updates one and not the other is the day it matters.
When to duplicate instead
Duplicate when the content genuinely differs, not when only the audience does. Same content in two places is one playlist with two labels. Different content is two playlists. See Duplicate a playlist.
Across workspaces
Labels do not cross workspace boundaries. To run the same playlist in a workspace you do not control, share it. See Share with another workspace.
