Setting up rules for block manipulation in schedule¶

To create the needed processing rule click on the + tab.
In the dialog box that appears, specify the following:

• the name of the decro type of block;
• the type of block that will be processed by this particular rule;
• user attribute of the block. The attribute is also set in the schedule for blocks that will be processed by the Decrochage Scheduler. The value for this attribute must correspond to its name.

After selecting the needed decrochage elements, they will be added to the list of the block that needs to be processed:

The decrochage elements can be swapped using Drag&Drop.
The following parameters can be set for each decrochage element:

• attribute value_ - name of decrochage element;
• priority use - responsible for the order in which the element will be used in block:
  • (mandatory) if there are commercials;
  • non-mandatory;
  • mandatory;
  • (mandatory) if there are no commercials;
  • (non-mandatory) if there are commercials;
• DB categories - information field where you enter the name of the category that contains this element;
• selection method – This field allows setting the type of selection of elements in a category. Can have the following values: random, top of the stack (taking into account the history of playback for element);
• max number – maximum number of elements with the same attribute value, which may be used to close this element. For (Vlet/Vilet) the value must be equal to это значение должно быть равно 1; for (Traffic) it can be any value; for (Promo) it must be equal to 1, 2 or 3;
• max and min playing time_ – information field. Displays maximum and minimum time of playing for an element in a category. For example, suppose that there are several (Torti) in a category. In this case information about max and min playing time for torti will be displayed after analyzing the torti. As playing time, element runtime is used;
• bar chart () - a dialog box is opened where, based on the analysis of the category, a bar chart showing the distribution of the number of elements depending on runtime is displayed.

While processing the schedule, messages about the results of processing are added to the list of messages found on the main window of Decrochage Scheduler under the list of decrochage elements.
