Unlike other contractual events, logos are not scheduled from Orders and Air Sales Scheduler, this, because they are not linked to scheduling blocks but to scheduled programs.
In order to be performed on-air, contractual logos need to be first "assigned" to the scheduled events to which they will be overlaid. Contractual logos and scripts can be scheduled into the Etere system as explained below:
LOGOS - Contractual logos can be exclusively assigned using the "Properties" function, from either the Executive Editor or the Strategic Editor. Activate the Logo Generator (i.e. device layer) and select the logo. Optionally, the "commercials" flag can be enabled to include the performance of the logo/script in the commercial crowding calculations:
NB: Please note that logos scheduled from other modules won't be managed and thus not counted nor invoiced.
SCRIPTS - Contractual scripts can be assigned in the following ways:
•Using the "Strategic Editor > Right-click > Secondary events > Single event" option to attach a script to a scheduled event. Press the Secondary Object button, activate the new object and select the script:
•Using the "Executive Editor > Tools > Run secondary event immediately" function to immediately execute a secondary event (e.g. script) on a preset device. Right click, choose "New > Sec. object" and configure the script:
NB: Please note that scripts scheduled from other modules won't be managed and thus not counted nor invoiced.
Note
Although logos can be assigned from Executive Editor or Strategic Editor, in order to be tracked and invoiced, they must be assigned to primary events scheduled into the Air Sales scheduling structure (e.g. from Strategic Editor, Air Sales Scheduler, Orders, etc); otherwise, they won't be considered.
Each time a contractual logo is scheduled, its scheduled performances gets increased by one as shown in the Orders > Lines > Logos tab:
Once scheduled, every time an event with logos is broadcasted by the automation, Etere STMan will send the required commands to the graphic system in charge to overlay logos to main programs.
