Looping Script for "Information Display Board"

in Script Workspace and Script Triggers

Featured Replies

I've created a database that contains several information layouts that I would like to cycle through "indefinitely" on a display board without interaction.  I wish to pause on each layout for a designated period of time ( 2 minutes?) and move to the next.  I've not done something like this before and would like advice on how to proceed.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

How many layouts in total? If it's only a few, you can do it the pedestrian way:

 

Loop

Go to Layout [ A ]

Pause [ 120 seconds ]

Go to Layout [ B ]

Pause [ 120 seconds ]

Go to Layout [ C ]

Pause [ 120 seconds ]

...

Go to Layout [ N ]

Pause [ 120 seconds ]

End  Loop

 

 

Make sure you know the keyboard shortcut for aborting a script (or place a secret button somewhere to halt script).
