Ad Break Templates let you specify the content type and order of ads during ad breaks. Once you have created one or more templates (see Creating an Ad Break Template), you can use them to create a schedule; which determines what templates are used when and by what stations.
To do this, navigate to Ad Management tab > Break Management sub-tab > Schedules.
Note: This feature must be enabled for the Break Management menu item to appear. To do this, contact AmperWave Support to enable this feature.
To create a new schedule:
-
On the Schedules page, click + New Schedule on the right hand side.
- Enter a name for the schedule in the text box near the top of the editing area.
-
Click and drag one or more ad break templates from the Available or In this schedule areas to the empty schedule and arrange them to complete your schedule.
- To adjust the days on which the template is used, click and drag its upper or lower edge higher or lower.
