201.2.1.8 Rules

Set under the "Rules" tab the criteria that will determine how the single/season program must be scheduled:

Rule_multichannels

Parameter - Run type
Description : Specify the way in which Runs will be managed for the purchased single/season program:

Linked to each single asset                   
If enabled, an individual number of Runs will be managed for each  asset (e.g. episode) forming part of the purchased single/season program.
For instance, in case a season of 10 episodes counts with 3 Run rights, it will be possible to schedule a maximum of 30 episodes (i.e. 3 run rights x 10 episodes).

Bms_contract_single_01

Independent of the single asset            
If enabled, a global number of Runs will be managed for the entire single/season program.
For instance, in case a season of 10 episodes counts with 3 Run rights, it will be possible to schedule a maximum of 3 episodes. (The Runs in the contract line are NOT multiplied by the episodes)
  
Bms_contract_single_02

Unlimited Runs                                 
If enabled, the Runs related to the purchased single/season program will be always available for scheduling without restrictions since its purchased rights are unlimited.
Please note that this option will be enabled only in case the "unlimited rights" option is enabled under the main data tab.

Parameter - ReRun type
Description : Specify the way in which Runs will be managed for the purchased single/season program:

Linked to each single Run

For instance, in case a season of 10 episodes counts with 3 Run rights and 4 ReRun rights, it will be possible to schedule a maximum of 120 ReRuns (i.e. 3 Runs rights x 4 ReRuns rights x 10 episodes).

Bms_contract_single_01_rr

Independent of the single Run            
If enabled, a global number of Runs will be managed for the entire single/season program.
For instance, in case a season of 10 episodes counts with 3 Run rights and 4 ReRun rights, it will be possible to schedule a maximum of 4 ReRuns. (The ReRuns in the contract line are NOT multiplied by the episodes)

Please note that in case of setting unlimited ReRuns, the "ReRun" value set in the main data tab will be also modified (i.e. set to zero).
In addition, an "available re-run conditions" field is provided for multiple ReRun calculation to be configured for rerun process.  The maximum number of rerun type are multiplied.

All the stations (with a valid BMS license) would be listed, select only the stations associated to the previously selected template area.
The rule has been enhanced to allow run/rerun on multiple channels.  Under the rule, first run must be scheduled on primary channel in the Primary destination parameter, and multiple channels are make available for selection in the Destination parameter.  The Scheduler (Program and Season) will check the run present in primary channel in Primary destination and trigger multiple channels in destination parameter if the rule is true.  If the Scheduler failed to detect run in primary channel, other channels will not be scheduled.
The failed event will be logged in the Scheduler report.
