How to access the « Broadcasting timeline »
There are two different ways you can access the « Broadcasting timeline », the first method allows you to view all of the content for each playlist in a player individually in a calendar. The second method allows you to view all of the content for a « player », a « site » or an « account group » in a calendar.
The « Broadcasting timeline » view
Once you are logged in to the ITESLIVE Studio, click the « Broadcasting timeline » under the « 01 Select a screen » header.
The menu under the « 01 Select a screen » header will be similar to that of the « tree view ». Here you must navigate the « tree view » to select the player whose « Broadcasting timeline » you wish to see.
Note: The biggest visual difference in the Studio for this view is found in the « 02 Select a zone » and « 03 Edit playlist » sections that are now divided horizontally rather than being divided vertically.
Once you have selected a player, select the zone that contains the playlist that you would like to see under the « 02 Select a zone » header. Once you have selected a playlist, it will appear in the « Broadcasting timeline » under the « 03 Edit playlist » header.
Once the « Broadcasting timeline » is displayed, you can select three different visuals for its content.
- Timeline - Month
- Timeline - Week
- Timeline - Day
You can also filter the entries in the « Broadcasting timeline » by clip type using the « Filters » drop-down list.
No matter the type of timeline you wish to use (month, week, day), you can change the period displayed in the timeline by using the arrows to the right of the icon that represents a calendar.
Should you wish to view a specific clip's configurations, you can access the configurations for each clip in the « Broadcasting timeline » by double clicking on it.
Note: Each clip in a playlist is represented by a coloured line in the calendar. You can see the clip's name and its position in the playlist to help identify it, once you have identified your clip, double click the line that represents the clip.
The menu that appears contains the clip's configurations. Select the information you wish to see by clicking the icon that represents it, you can also preview the clip's content or distribute the clip. The following is the complete list of actions that can be taken for each clip.

Every playlist presented in the « Broadcasting timeline » is segmented in the list of broadcast content, you can see the playlist name as well as the playlist controls on the right-hand side of the « 03 Edit playlist » section of the Studio.
