Schedule Start Date & Start Time

Specify a Start Date and Start Time for the scheduled resource.

Once you select a Start Time, you can manually adjust it to specify minutes and seconds.

Start and end times allow you to specify how long they are used. Snipes have an optional expiry instead of a defined end time.

Recurring Resources

For recurring resources, select the Recurrence option.

When you enable the Recurrence option, you can schedule a recurring resource easily in Brando, such as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, as well as specify the frequency of occurrences and when the recurring schedule ends, if needed.

 

Notes:

  • A recurring schedule with No End Date has it's future scheduled instances managed by DMan each day so it's important that DMan is running.
  • The End By recurrence option causes your schedule to end BEFORE the day you select. For example if you choose to End By September 9th, your schedule will end ON September 8th.

Tag Time

Tag time is used to promote a future show later in your schedule.

Example: At Noon, you may want to schedule a Resource (Bug, Snipe, Next) to promote a show at 7pm with the ^Now/Next tag. The time you would want to put in the Tag Time is 7pm with the ^Now tag (in this scenario). Therefore, during your Noon news broadcast, you can promote the 7pm Show with its Show Title.
