Step 1: Select the linear channel you want to manage using the drop-down menu at the top left. By default, the first linear channel is automatically selected.

Step 2: In order to schedule your linear channel, click the “Edit Schedule” button. This will unlock the schedule for you to edit it.

Note: this action will lock out other users from working at the same time as you. Admin users have the right to kick other users out of a session. If you are unable to edit a schedule, have your Admin change your user permission levels to “Manage” from “View”.

Warning: If an Admin kicks a user out of a session before work is saved, all work from that session will be lost and cannot be recovered.

Step 3: In the default “Calendar View”, to add a linear program you can either double click any open space on the calendar or click the “Add Program” button.

Double clicking an open space will default you to that date and time when you select a linear program. Clicking “Add Program” will require the user to select the desired date and time of the programming.

Step 4: If desired, modify the date and time for the placement of the linear program by selecting the respective drop-down menu.

You have the option to filter the results by display the editorial version. Select “All”, “Ready for Air”, or “Draft”.

Additionally, you can filter the linear programs by their duration, selecting from a pre-defined set of linear program target duration ranges.

Step 5: Type any word from within a linear program Title to narrow your search to the exact linear program you are looking for.

Step 6: Select the linear program in the list by clicking on it, then click the “Add to Schedule” button to insert the program. You may then freely move the program around the schedule to change the air time, as well as copying and pasting it repeatedly.

Repeat Steps 3 to 6 until you’ve added all the linear programs that you want to use during your programming session.

Step 7: Once you finish with programming your schedule, click the “Save” button to publish the schedule. Alternatively, click “Discard” to revert the schedule back to the previous version. Both actions cannot be undone.
