This window contains all of the tools necessary to efficiently manage network affiliate related content and activities.  This window can be accessed directly from the [Dashboard].

===Introduction/Overview===

[image||{UP}EZ-NET/EZNET.png]

Introducing EZ-NET… an option that can save traffic people significant hours per week.  Stations that used to spend over 6 hours per week importing network ads the old fashioned way tell us they can now get the job done in under 6 minutes with EZ-NET.  
The EZ-NET window contains everything you need to import, process, manage and report on network related spots.  

'''What the network states is what we do, automatically. '''


===Layout===

Across the top is the ''Main Menu''.  On the left hand side of the window you’ll see a list of network “shows”.  When you select a [NetworkShow], the right hand side of the screen contains the network “schedules” for that show.

===Main Menu===

*'''File'''
**'''Close'''{br}This closes the window.
*'''View'''
**'''Trashed'''{br}By enabling this toggle, the [NetworkShow] list is updated to display all the items that are in the "trash bin".  By default, this is not enabled.  NOTE: Trashed items will be displayed in the list differently utilizing an italicized font.
**'''Reset'''{br}Resets the view of both panes (modified using [MyViews]) to their factory-original state.
**'''Refresh'''{br}Refreshes the content (data) in both panes.
*'''Tools'''
**'''Make Goods'''{br}This provides a list of all spots that have been bumped from your [Logs].  In addition to [NetworkShow] and run dates the windows shows total count of bumped spots.  From this list you have the option of canceling/trashing any spots you do not wish to [MakeGood].  Check the box in the "dismiss" column next to the spots you wish to eliminate and then click the "trash" button that will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.
**'''Options'''{br}To configure which networks and what [NetworkShows] are available, you utilize the [EZ-NET_Config] window; this tool launches this window.  See [EZ-NET_Config].
*'''Reports'''
**'''Network Affidavit'''{br}To further ease the process of affidavit reporting, this report provides easy access to all of the information needed.  This report contains all of the necessary information formatted in a manner that is very similar to that required by the different networks so that you can easily follow the report and transfer the numbers accordingly.  See [ReportNetworkAffidavit|“Network Affidavits” report].
**'''Network Copy'''{br}Provides a list of added/updated [Copy] that you can present to your production department.  See [ReportNetworkCopy|“Network Copy” report].


===Network Shows===

The network shows section contains the list of active [NetworkShows] that will be processed when clicking on the “Fetch” button (located just below the list of network shows).  Each show is named using a short-hand nomenclature to assist in easily identifying where the [NetworkShow] originates and what [Station] it belongs to.  For example, “P.KXYZ-AM – Yellow Rose News Hour” is the ''Yellow Rose News Hour'' [NetworkShow] from ''Premiere Network'' for the ''KXYZ-AM'' radio [Station].  
As a side note, we also, by default, create an [AvailType] that matches this name to assist in the direct placement of these spots on the [Log]; you just need to include these on your [Templates]/[Formats] accordingly.  For example, using “Yellow Rose News Hour”, we are bartering 7 minutes per week.  The first time we see this [NetworkShow] (during configuration), you will also need to update your [Templates]/[Formats] to specify where this [NetworkShow] will fall in order to dedicate the 7 minutes per week (according to the agreed upon schedule).  After doing this, the spots will fall according to this configured placement so you basically don’t have to worry about the “scheduling” of these each week which further reduces the overall effort involved.

====Context Menu====

This menu is access by using the mouse to right click anywhere in the [NetworkShow] pane.  See [Common|Common UI Behavior].

* '''Open'''{br}Opens the highlighted [NetworkShow].
* '''Make Good'''{br}Presents a dialog that displays the outstanding [MakeGood] spots associated with the selected [NetworkShow].
* '''Fetch'''{br}Will process the selected [NetworkShow] (not the entire list).  Refer to the ''Fetch Button'' (below) for more details on this process.
* '''Trash'''{br}Provide quick access to mark a [NetworkShow] as being inactive and, being inactive, will no longer be displayed in the list (unless the ''View''->''Trashed'' option is enabled (see ''Main Menu'' above).
* '''Un-trash'''{br}When a [NetworkShow] has been trashed and the ''View''->''Trashed'' option is enabled (see ''Main Menu'' above), this tool will re-activate the show.  The next time you use the “Fetch” button, this [NetworkShow] will now be included. 

====Fetch Button====

Clicking on the ''Fetch'' button will process the entire active list of [NetworkShow] entries for new [NetworkSchedules].

'''Progress'''

The bottom right hand corner of this window you will see two progress bars.  The first progress bar represents the scanning progress for the processing of the [NetworkShows].  The second progress bar represents the overall progress for processing any found [NetworkSchedules].

===Network Schedules===

The ''Network Schedules'' pane contains two tabs, ''Schedules'' and ''Network''.  

====Schedules Tab====

The ''Schedules'' tab contains a list of [NetworkSchedules] that have been successfully imported using either the ''Fetch'' button or the ''Fetch'' tool from the [NetworkShow] context menu.  Each [NetworkSchedule] represents one week worth of spots.  

This pane is [MyViews] enabled.

'''Context Menu'''

This menu is access by using the mouse to right clicking an a particular [NetworkSchedule] pane.  See [Common|Common UI Behavior].

* '''Open'''{br}Opens the highlighted [NetworkSchedule].
* '''Delete'''{br}Deletes the highlighted [NetworkSchedule].


====Network Tab====

The “Network” tab provides for a custom web browser that enhances/streamlines the networks actual web site.

Some of the customizations include:

* '''Automatic login.'''{br}No need to log out or close the browser to change between [Stations] and ''Networks''.
* '''Reduce noise.'''{br}This means much of the extraneous information on the respective website is removed and you are taken directly to the selected [NetworkShow].  Only the details that are relevant are kept and all other information is filtered away.
* '''Enhanced color coding.'''{br}For example, any schedules that are red represent a schedule that was in the past and needs to be processed for affidavit reporting.
* '''Rewired experience.'''{br}Where we can, we've worked to streamline the work flow by "rewiring" the links on their respective web sites.  For example, in one of the networks, you no longer have to go to the separate affidavit section in order to click on the schedule to process it; instead, we’ve merged the two separate sections together so you can more efficiently get the job done.  Similar treatment, where appropriate, has been done to all of the other networks.

===Close Button===

Closes the window.
