Use schedule pages to enter scheduling criteria for spots. Each time you enter a new page, the spots schedule on active logs. When necessary, Summit reorganizes spots based on placement priorities, etc. This reorganization process takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the number of spots, the dates involved and the number of active logs extended. To maintain database integrity, many fields cannot be changed once spots have aired for a given page. These fields are grayed out on the form.
See navigation and working with database records in the getting started section.
Field Descriptions
Schedule Qty: enter the number of spots to run for this page, either by day, or by week, or for the entire page.
Media Inventory: If you use Media Inventory, enter the Media Inventory record defining these spots. Description: Enter the description for this schedule page. This field may be left blank if using copy. This description can print on the log and/or invoices depending on how they are formatted. Copy: If you are using Copy Data Entry to rotate copy for these spots, you can enter it here, or attach it from within after the copy order is entered. Media ID: Enter the unique ID for this page. This field may be left blank if using copy. The ID prints on logs, invoices, and reports. It is also written to automation interface files and used in automatic verification from automation systems. Agency Description: Enter the description for this schedule page. This field may be left blank if using copy. This description can print on the log and/or invoices depending on how they are formatted. Channel: Select the channel or group for this page. If specifying a group, make sure the group consists only of discrete channels, not other groups. If a group is specified, spots will run on each channel of that group at any time meeting the given criteria. If spots must run the same time (i.e. in the same break) on each specified channel, check the "same time all channels" box on the additional tab. If this ia a group, you may want to use the combine rate for all channels option or the multiple channel rate option.
Quick Schedule: Press to take this page off hold and schedule these spots into any available breaks according to the criteria specified. No attempt will be made to preempt spots already in the schedule. This is a quicker method of scheduling and is useful for low priority spots that would not likely preempt other spots, or for last minute orders when you know there is room available. Full Schedule: Press to take this page off hold and schedule these spots, pre-empting and rescheduling other spots as possible. On Hold:
