Schedule a Magazine

By default, new magazines are scheduled to always play (all days of the week, all time ranges, and all date ranges).

Schedule higher priority magazines only. The lowest priority magazine should be left to always play (default). It must also contain pages in its playlist that are set to always play. This ensures that something always appears on air. See Magazine Priority for details.

To schedule a magazine:

1.Right click on the magazine in the tree and select Properties then the Schedule tab.

2.Check the boxes next to the days of the week you want your magazine’s playlist to be broadcast. (We recommend scheduling magazines for time ranges, and scheduling pages for days or date ranges).

3.To Schedule Date Ranges:

• Click on the + under the Date Ranges box.

• Select the start date in the calendar. (Click on the Month for a drop-down menu of all months, and on the year for quick access to other years). Select the end date. Press OK.

• Repeat the process to add more date ranges or Click OK to exit.

4.To Schedule Time Ranges:

• Click on the + under the Time Ranges box.

• Add a single time range or multiple time ranges (see note below).

• Type in the start and stop times using this format: hh:mm:ss.

• If scheduling multiple time ranges, add frequency and duration.

• Click OK. Repeat to add more than one time range or click OK to exit.

Multiple Time Ranges

Audience.foundation can generate multiple time ranges automatically. When you select “Add multiple time ranges”, simply enter a start and stop time (like noon to 6pm), a frequency (like once per hour), and a duration (like 3 minutes). Audience.foundation will generate individual schedules for each time range.
