Modifying the duration or the end time of a playlist event

1 Right-click the desired event in the Daily Schedule window, then click [Change Duration] or [Change End Time] on the popup menu.

The Change Duration or Change End Time dialog box appears. The current duration or end time of the event is shown in it.

2 Modify the time as desired, then click [OK].

In either case, the start time of the line immediately below the selected playlist event is changed.

Note

When modifying the end time, the specified end time is not included in the duration of the playlist event.

If you specify “15:00:00” as the end time, for example, playout of that playlist will end immediately before 15:00:00.

Exporting daily schedules as CSV files

A daily schedule can be stored as a CSV file using the following procedure. A CSV file is a text file in which each item in a table is separated by comma. You can use spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel, to open CSV files for printing and data processing.

1 Open the daily schedule to be exported.

See “Opening a daily schedule” on page 47 for details.

2 Select [Daily Schedule] > [Export CSV File] from the menu bar.

The Save as dialog box appears.

3 Specify the folder and file name for the exported CSV file, then click [Save].

The displayed daily schedule data is stored as a file with a “.csv” extension in the specified folder. When you open this file using a spreadsheet application, playlists and control commands listed on the daily schedule are displayed together with the start times. On the top line, however, information (index, type and title) on the selected daily schedule itself appears.
