The Seasons section allows to schedule television seasons, providing the possibility to take complete control even over the reruns. To start programming an event, search for it using the [Seasons] button and then compile the following parameters:

Parameter - Priority

Description: If it is intended to schedule only a part of the entire season, indicate the episode number from which the scheduling will start.

Parameter - Scheduled times

Even - Only on even days (e.g. 2-4-6-8...30) in the chosen period, independently of the day of the week.

Odd - Only on odd days (e.g., 3-5-7-9...31) in the chosen period.

Specific days - You can select the weekdays (e.g. Monday and Friday) on which you want the commercial asset to be scheduled.

Once all parameters have been correctly set, press the [RUN] button to proceed with the seasons-scheduling process, scheduling first the episodes and then the reruns (if enabled).
 
NB: If the requested schedule spaces are more significant than the episode number of the seasons, a message (i.e., 'Not enough episodes') will warn the operator about this issue.
