The Scheduling Grid Layout

The Scheduling grid is where you program your playlists.

  • The grid shows an entire week of programming and is divided into 7 days.
  • The current day is shown in a shaded grey color.
  • The current time is shown as a red band.
  • You use the vertical scroll bar or the mouse scroll wheel to move the grid up and down.
  • The colored bands at the top of each day represent playlists.
  • The grey and colored bands near the bottom of each day represent published tickers. Grey = published ticker, color = ticker assigned to a playlist.
  • The bottom band named “Advertising” will only appear if an advertising playlist is programmed.
