EditIntroduction
RadioTraffic converts to a specific StationPlaylist log format.
EditStation Configuration
To configure RadioTraffic to work with StationPlaylist, you will first need modify the station configuration to utilize StationPlaylist as the automation system. In the
Settings, open
Stations. Select the
Station you want to configure and double click. Once the
Station configuration window is visible, select the 'Files' tab. Select the 'Product' to "Techno Creation StationPlaylist" using the drop down selection tool. The 'Automation Log Path' is where RadioTraffic will export the
Log to, so set this to the file system folder that StationPlaylist will pull the file from. The filename exported will match the MMDDYY.LOG pattern; where MM is month, DD is day and YY is the year.
EditCart Numbers
StationPlaylist system is capable of working in "normal" mode with up to 8 alpha/numeric character cart numbers. This is the recommended mode of operation.
StationPlaylist can also utilize an "alternate" mode (with regards to radio) mode where the "cart number" is the actual filename. If using this mode, the filename must include a three character extension. We do not recommend this mode as it will not print correctly on many documents available in RadioTraffic.
EditAutomation Commands
RadioTraffic exports the cart number portion of automation commands.
EditLog Notes
Due to limitations in StationPlaylist, log notes do not export.
EditPrograms
Due to limitations in StationPlaylist, log notes do not export.
EditAvails/Breaks
Avails are only used in RadioTraffic as a means of scheduling; they are not utilized in any way with regards to StationPlaylist.
EditLog Reconciliation
We also support automatic log reconciliation for the StationPlaylist as-aired logs. To configure this feature, you need to determine where these files are located on your network and use that path to configure the "Aired Log Path".
The filename should match the SSpot-YYMMDD.csv pattern where YY is the year, MM is the month and DD is the day.
This file should contain 10 columns:
1. ?
2. Time
3. ?
4. Status; we require that it is a "5".
5. ?
6. Description
7. ?
8. ?
9. ?
10. Cart number
