7.5 Calendar View: Drag & Drop Of Elements (v2.0)
You can drag and drop the following elements into an empty area or an existing playlist inside the calendar view:
- single elements
- entire folders
- pre saved playlists.
Empty Area: Drag and drop any combination of files and folders from the library into an empty section of the calendar view and a new playlist will be automatically generated with the dragged movie clips as its contents. This new playlist will have the "Auto Duration" feature enabled and therefore will have a length to fit all clips within the playlist.
Existing Playlist: If you drop something into an existing playlist in the calendar view, all elements will be inserted at the end of the playlist. Note that all sub folders will be traversed for movies (the folder structure itself will not be preserved). Instead, a single list will be generated consisting of all of the movies in the dragged folder and all of its descendent folders. Loops and infinite live events within the dropped playlist will be ignored.
- We recommend to have at least one playlist (which has its start point at the current day) scheduled in the rundown per day. Also try to avoid gaps which are longer than 24 hours.
- It is not possible to add items to the rundown whose drop point is in the past. This would change the current playout and will therefore be rejected. A warning will be shown instead.
Please read the following chapters for more informations how to add elements to the rundown.
