Headers and Sorting

3. Headers and Sorting
The column headers also allow for sorting by any of the headers.
If you click the header once it sorts ascending, a second click sorts descending.
For example if you click Artist you get the artists from A to Z, if you click it again you get Z to A.
The triangle pointing up indicates ascending.

Sync and Controls

8. Sync and Controls
Sync: If you put a time (MMSS) in the box, the item will be marked Next to Air at that time in the hour.  Only enter Minutes and Seconds.
If you enter a time AND check the Exact Time box, the event you insert will be triggered at that time in the hour.
 
The check box "Keep Library Window On Top" will keep the library window on top of any other windows. 
You can still click the Minimize button but clicking on a window behind the Event Library will cause it to lose focus but remain on top.
 
Once an item is select from one of the 3 screens, the insert button will place it in the schedule at the selected location.
 
The schedule location must be in the future or insert will be grayed out and disabled.
 
The Close button will close the Event Library.
