Browse to your set with the left-hand side FOLDER BROSWER. Remember, you can save sets
on any attached drive, including network drives. Once you locate your set, ensure you have your
desired attributes set:
FAIL SAFE or SPECIFIC DATE RANGE: Sets can be scheduled in two ways…FAIL SAFE or
SPECIFIC DATE RANGE. Every schedule must have a FAIL SAFE set. FAIL SAFE sets play
when no other scheduled sets are valid, and of course when they are the only set in a schedule.
Fail Safe is designed to prevent “black air”—so that no matter what the date or what the time, at

in the schedule (as it would be for a tutorial) ensure you click the FAIL SAFE radio button.
A SPECIFIC DATE RANGE setting allows you to program a set within your schedule to play at
certain times and to be bypassed at other times. For instance, you can have two sets in your
schedule: One is your fail safe (the set that plays when no others are valid) and the other set to a
SPECIFIC DATE RANGE of perhaps every day for the month of December, with time set at
12:00:00 to 15:00:00…this would result in your fail safe set playing most of the day, but each
day in December between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, your specific set will play. This is an
extremely valuable tool if you are matching advertising to time of day demographics, or selling
time blocks on a schedule, or just have different content for different periods. Not only can time
and date be specified, so can specific days of the week.
After your attributes are set, click OK on the Set Attributes Window. Your set will now be listed
in the first row of the scheduler.
Notice, you can highlight any set on this form and adjust the Start/Stop Dates, TIMES and Days
of week as well as make a fail safe set specific or vice versa. Finally, we need to save the
