This window shows the currently selected show you are editing.
 
The Break-Order# column shows the grouping of the events in the show into BREAKS.
The first event in the first break will be 01-01.
You can quickly determine which commercial break you are looking at and how many events are in the break using this column.
During the Sports Log play out, these breaks will air in order from top to bottom.
If your sporting event alternates between local and network breaks, you can safely use the break numbers in the affiliate clock so it matches.
The Cut column shows the cut number of the scheduled event.
The Description column shows the description from the Cut Info in the Production Database Editor.
And the File Name column shows the actual file name in the JBMusic Folder
