    In the Schedule tab, the functions available in the main console include:
    • You can Search and load the daily scheduled and secondary events with related graphic assets.
    • Day: Select a date from the calendar to search for the scheduled objects.
    • Level: Select a schedule level / alternative schedule from the drop-down list.
    • Using the “View Secondary Events” switch on the top right panel, you can display all secondary events or only secondary events that are yet to be transmitted.
    • Using the [+] or [-] buttons on the leftmost column, you can choose to show (“+”) or hide (“-“) the specific secondary event.
    • From the list of secondary events, you can drag the events that are scheduled for the current time (indicated by ETX-G_Search_Current_Icon icon) or events ready to be broadcast (indicated by ETX-G_Search_OK_Icon  icon) into the <Preset> window and view the preset of the graphic.  This feature is not valid for transmitted events (indicated by ETX-G_Search_Transmitted_Icon icon)  
    • While graphic is in <Preset>, you can switch the graphic from <Preset> to <Preview> by simply click on the <Preview> button.
    • When a secondary event in <Preset> is <TAKE> into Program, the graphic would be cleared from the <Preset> layer and flagged as transmitted.
    • If you click on the <TAKE> button again, no graphic will be presented as the graphic has already cleared (removed) from the <Preset>.
    • You can click on the <Preview> ETX-G_Search_Preview_Icon button to preview all graphics of the selected asset.
    • If the "On-air event always on top" option is activated, the current on-air event will be positioned at the top of the visible area.
    The schedule will be updated automatically when an event changes; otherwise, you can press the <Refresh> key to perform a manual update.
