Schedule Block allows you to make Content automatically appear on the pa= ge at a specified time. |
Schedule Block is an element of a Landing Page which allows you to selec= t Content items and plan (schedule) the times at which they will be display= ed on the page.
The Schedule Block can be used in conjunction with the Timeline toolbar = to plan the exact times at which each Content item is supposed to appear.
When new Content appears at the scheduled time, the Content displayed pr= eviously is moved down to make place for it. It is also possible to define = the rules for overflow: when a Content item is moved down so far that it fa= lls outside the Schedule Block, it can be moved to a different, predefined = Overflow block.
