How Visibility Works in a Flow

A Flow is an automated content playlist. There are three ways to control how often content appears on screen:

Method

Best used for

Weights

Giving a specific app more or less screen time relative to other content

Scheduling

Showing content at specific times of day or days of the week - e.g. a lunch menu before and during lunch hour

Periodic visiblity

Showing content during specific calendar periods - e.g. campaigns or interim reports

Using the Test Clock

Use the Test Clock tool to preview how your Flow will look at different times - useful for verifying scheduling and weight settings.

Merge these two and create a new one:   How to reauthorize an app in Valotalive Changed your Microsoft (or Google) password or had an access token expire? Your Valotalive content may have stopped updating. This article explains how to re-authorize your connection and get everything running again — without losing your apps or content. Written by Leonie Updated over 3 weeks ago  Common triggers for needing to reauthorize: You recently changed your Microsoft (or Google) password Your IT team rotated credentials or updated OAuth policies Content from a Microsoft (or Google) app has stopped updating You were directed here after revoking access on the Microsoft (or Google) side  How to reauthorize  Go to My account → Service Integrations   Find the relevant Microsoft (or Google) integration  Click the Reauthorize button and follow the sign-in prompts  The Reauthorize button only appears for integrations where you are the owner. In this example, three Microsoft integrations are listed — Microsoft 365v, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Planner — but only one shows the Reauthorize button.  Can’t see the Reauthorize button? or Authorizing for the first time?  You will see an Authorize button instead of Reauthorize - the process is the same. Make sure you are authorizing an app that you own, otherwise the reauthorization will not resolve the issue.  Reauthorize vs. Revoke — what’s the difference? These are two distinct actions with very different outcomes: Action What it does When to use it Reauthorize Renews the access token and restores the connection Password changed, token expired, content stopped updating Revoke Permanently removes authorization and deletes all apps linked to that account Only when completely disconnect all apps from a specific account ⚠️  Do not use Revoke if you only want to refresh your connection.  Revoked apps cannot be recovered. If you need to revoke access, see the article Revoking Admin Permissions in Valotalive.  -  Reauthorize your content integrations Access tokens for third-party integrations expire periodically, which is the most common reason integrated content stops displaying. Reauthorizing your connection in Valotalive will resolve this. Written by Leonie Updated today How to reauthorize Go to My account | [Service Integrations](<a href="https://dashboard.valota.live/#account_integrations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://dashboard.valota.live/#account_integrations</a>) and reauthorize the relevant integration.  The Reauthorize button is only visible to the app's owner. If you cannot see it, check the Owner field on the app's Information tab.  Revoke vs. Reauthorize These are two different actions — use them carefully:  Reauthorize – Renews the access token and restores the connection. Use this for routine token renewal or when content has stopped updating.  Revoke – Permanently removes the authorization and deletes all apps linked to that account. Only use Revoke if you need to completely disconnect all apps from a specific account.
