The Scheduling grid layout


The Scheduling grid is where you program your playlists.



The grid is divided into 7 days.


The current day is shown in a shaded gray color.


The current time is shown as a red line.


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. Shaded bands represent everlasting playlists.


The bottom band named “Ads” will only appear when an advertising playlist is programmed.


The gray and colored bands that appear near the bottom of each day represent published tickers.  


  • Gray = published ticker appears on screen regardless of the playlist scheduled
  • Color = ticker assigned to a playlist appears on screen only when that playlist is scheduled
