Schedule Settings

Scheduling Order

This box will need to contain every category you use, in the order you want them to be scheduled.

Each category is separated by a single comma (,).

Typically you would list the categories from smallest number of cuts to largest.

The DJB Radio uses what's called a Multi-Pass Scheduling process.

This means that we schedule one category at a time throughout the entire 24 hours before we go on to the next category.

This allows the small categories to be used while there are still many slots to fill.

The larger categories have more options to fill the remaining slots.

If you don't want the system to schedule the same Artist too close together, you can use Artist Protection.

Check the box to activate and the number in the box is the number of songs before that Artist can be scheduled again.

Like Artist Protection, Title Protection prevents the same title from playing until the number of songs in the box has passed.

Gender Protection will prevent two female artists from playing back to back.

If you wish to use daypart protections to restrict the hours in which a song can play check the “Do you want to use Daypart Protection?” box.

In the “Move dayparted songs that cannot be played to the back of these categories” text box enter in the categories which you want songs that

don’t meet the daypart requirements to be moved to the end of the line of songs being scheduled.

This is only meant to be used by current categories that rotate more than once in a day.

This would keep the dayparted currents from stacking up into the front of the category.

In the Production Database Editor you can select the dayparts the song is allowed to play by clicking:

Then uncheck the days/hours you do NOT want the song to play. A checkmark indicates it is okay to play.

The check mark turns on Tempo Protection. Click the Edit Tempo Policy to set teh actual policies.

Any categories placed in this comma separated list will ignore all of the protection rules.

If you are using IVT (Internet Voice Tracking) check the box to cause the schedules to be archived for the IVT software to download.

Click Save and Exit to save the changes you have made to the settings and return to the Scheduler menu.
