Birthday Slide

Display employee birthdays that are occurring during the current week.

If there are no birthdays within the current week, the slide will be skipped from displaying on a live TV. The exception is if a TV only has a birthday slide, or is on a TV only with an anniversary slide, a "No Birthdays this Week" message will display.
