The Schedules section to the left contains 7 lists, one for each day of the week, in which you can add the times of the events.
The list for the selected day shows all events chronologically ordered and for each of them it displays some useful information, such as:
•Time of the scheduled event
•Title
•Type of the scheduled element
•Duration
•Exact time (enabled or disabled)
•Status (enabled or disabled)
As first use, each list of the days is totally empty.
To add a time:
1.In the Schedules section select the desired day.
2.Above to the left, insert a time.
3.Click the Add schedule button.
The time is shown as a blank line in the grid.
You can insert in the line the event you want to be programmed at that time.
The items can be inserted in the timetable via drag 'n' drop from the sections shown on the right.
The sections allow you to view and insert in an empty schedule individual songs, sequences, playlists, clocks or web streams.
It's also possible to select multiple times (using Ctrl or Shift key on your keyboard) before dragging items and insert the same event in all the lines.
In case of full-time, the existing event is replaced by the new event.
During the airing, the Live section shows the next event in the Sched. field.
The elements are queued on the second on air slot 1 minute and 30 seconds before the schedule time, so it can be aired immediately after the one currently on air; at this time the schedule remains "on hold" or "waiting". In this state, the on air display indicates with a flashing light that the next schedule is waiting in the second slot.
The scheduled clocks rather, always with advance of about 1 minute and 30 seconds after the time, generate songs and insert them from the second slot onwards.
Make sure that schedules are enabled by Edit > Settings > Schedules. If schedules are disabled, the Sched. field in the Live section shows DISABLED.
