Seed Manager Scheduling Tool Overview: Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Access the Scheduling Tool

    • Navigate to the Seed Manager interface.

    • Identify the area where you want to schedule media: Media Library, Media Playlists, or Channel.

  2. Scheduling a Single Media Item

    • Go to the Media Library.

    • Select the desired media asset.

    • Click on the "Schedule" option.

    • Set the desired start and end times for the media asset.

    • Click "Save" to confirm the schedule.

  3. Scheduling a Media Playlist

    • Access the Media Playlists section.

    • Select the playlist you wish to schedule.

    • Click on the "Schedule" option.

    • Choose whether to schedule individual media assets or the entire playlist.

    • Adjust the scheduling parameters (e.g., all day, specific time, recurring options).

    • Click "Save" to finalize the scheduling.

  4. Setting Recurring Schedules

    • For weekly schedules, select the desired day(s) and check the "recurring" option.

    • For daily schedules, specify the time frame (e.g., 4 PM to 6 PM) and select "recurring daily."

    • For specific date ranges (e.g., for a special event), set the start and end dates accordingly.

  5. Review Scheduled Items

    • Navigate to the Channel section.

    • Access "General Media" to view all scheduled playlists.

    • Confirm that the schedules are set correctly and note the expiration dates.

  6. Final Confirmation

    • Document any changes made for future reference.

Cautionary Notes

  • Always double-check the start and end times to avoid scheduling conflicts.

  • Be mindful of the expiration dates; once a playlist expires, it will no longer be visible in the channel.

  • Regularly review scheduled playlists to ensure they align with current marketing strategies or events.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Utilize the recurring options to save time when scheduling regular events (e.g., weekly promotions).

  • Keep a calendar or spreadsheet of scheduled playlists to quickly reference upcoming media and avoid overlaps.

  • Familiarize yourself with the Seed Manager interface to navigate quickly and efficiently.
