Week Template And Special Dates
Administrator task. Open System > Week template after creating the required Day Templates.
Set The Normal Week
- Choose the intended day template for Monday through Sunday.
- Check weekday and weekend choices independently.
- Select Save.
- Reopen the page and verify the assignments.
- Check an open example date for each type of day after background processing.
-None- means there is no day template assigned for that weekday. Without another applicable date-specific assignment, the day has no commercial-block structure from this weekly setup.
Add A Special Date
Use a special date for a holiday, event or one-day programme structure.
- Prepare a separate day template that contains the required hours and blocks.
- In the special-date area, choose Date, enter Description and select Day template.
- Select the nearby Add control and verify the row in the list.
- Select Save for the complete Week template form.
- Reopen the page and confirm the exception is still listed.
- Inspect that date's schedule and affected campaigns after background processing.
A date-specific template takes precedence over the normal weekday template. Keep one clear assignment per date; do not create competing exceptions and rely on their order.
To remove an exception, use its row's cross and then Save the form. Check that the date returns to its normal weekday structure. To change an exception, replace the row with the intended values and save.
Review The Impact
The chain is week/date assignment > day template > hour template > block definition. A missing link can leave no suitable place for an otherwise valid campaign.
Saving the Week template requests a background layout update. It operates on open schedules; a layout change is not a mechanism to replace a day already delivered to playout. Check warnings about campaigns affected by a changed structure and arrange a studio handover if needed.
