Welcome Screens can use scheduled activation periods to automatically control when personalized guest messages appear on TVs.
This allows hospitality staff to prepare Welcome Screens in advance without needing to manually activate or remove them later.

Automatic Workflow #
Scheduled Welcome Screens allow the system to:
- Activate automatically
- Display personalized messaging
- Expire automatically
- Return to normal slideshow playback
This creates a smoother operational workflow for hospitality teams.
Scheduled Welcome Screens are especially useful for properties managing multiple guest arrivals each day.
Setting the expiration date correctly is important.
Otherwise the honeymoon greeting may still be enthusiastically welcoming guests three weeks after checkout like an emotionally confused robot concierge.
