59.5.8.10 Manual On-air Schedule

Report Description

The Manual On-air Schedule allows outputting the automation schedule the same as the one you have programmed in ETERE Main, plus extra info related to taped assets that will enable the manual On-air broadcasting (media name, SOM, EOM, etc.). The manual On-air print results are similar to the ones obtained with Emergency Print.

Report Filters

All the parameters that permit detailed report generation have been spread across seven different tabs to allow for a more straightforward configuration. By default, all filters are disabled (i.e., either blank or unselected); to enable them, it is enough to configure at least one parameter inside. Available filters include:

•Date

Indicate the time criteria to be used for filtering events; it is possible to define any of the following methods:

-Interval: It permits to specify if the days to be included will be taken from a given custom date or one of the standard filters (i.e., 'current day', 'this week', 'next week', 'current month', 'current year', 'today's month date', 'today's  year day', 'previous month', 'previous year', 'last 30 days, 'following 30 days' or 'all dates'),

-Time: Indicate if the report will include the whole day scheduling or only a specific time range.

•Object

Indicate the event type (s) that will be used to filter the events included in the report. Use the 'hide groups and system types' option to display only those types defined by the station and hide those created by default Etere.

•Agency

Set there the field from which the agency information will be retrieved:

- Air Sales agency: The agency specified in the order (only for Air Sales contractual events),

- Asset Form agency: The agency is specified as the tapeless supplier in the asset form.

•Splits

Select the split networks on which the events to be retrieved must have been transmitted to be included in the report:

- Principal network: It's the leading network on which events are mainly scheduled,

- Secondary networks: Those split networks configured in the Etere Configuration | Settings | Air Sales | Splits section,

- All networks: If selected, the report will include the events scheduled across all the leading and split networks. In this case, adding the 'split' column under the properties tab is suggested to identify the network to which events belong.

•Properties

This tab permits the customization of the layout of the report by selecting the complementary information that will be displayed on it. You can also decide to include some standard info, such as:

- Print date: Enable it to display the date (and time) in each page footer,

- Pages Number: If active, a progressive number will be displayed in the footer on all pages across the report,

- Operator: It is the login name of the person who performs the report,

- Station name: The name of the station from which the report is being performed,

- Multiple lines text: Enable this option to continue printing a detail in another line instead of truncating it (as by default).

- Interline: Enable this option to increase the space between lines to 1.5 cm (one-and-one-half); by default -when disabled- this space is set to 1 cm (single).

- Columns: It permits to specify the database fields that will be included in the report. The column headers in the top part of the columns window will be displayed as shown in the report. It is possible to arrange them just by using drag and drop.

- Alternative schedule 1-10: Select the alternative schedules that hold ancillary schedules such as imported schedules, scheduling changes, etc.

•SMPTE Metadata

This tab allows filtering of only those events matching a set of one or more SMPTE metadata fields (e.g. campaign, agency, etc).

NB: Please note that the "SMPTE Metadata" tab will be available only if at least one SMPTE metadata field is configured in the system.

Display Active Filters

In the middle of the form, a summarizing list will be displayed containing all the filters enabled for the current report:
On-air_Schedule__display_active_filters

Report Preview

The [Settings] permits configuring the page layout of the outgoing document; once filters and settings have been set, it will be possible to select between displaying a preview using the related [Preview] button or printing the document directly using the [Report] button. Please note that some reports permit the export of the generated document in the most common formats (PDF, CSV, doc, xls, XML, etc) just by using the [Export] button.
