Place spots/units by day

Define spot rotation by day by placing spots in specific days of the week in a schedule row. You also can assign a number of units to specific days in a non-traditional revenue (NTR) schedule.

• As you type numbers in the day's column, the Rot (Rotator) column shows the number of remaining spots or units. Any unallocated spots/units are rotators.

• If you change the Rot column, Tapscan adjusts the Spots/Units column.

OR if you change the Spots/Units column, Tapscan adjusts the Rot column.

• You can also change the station's or vendor's total spots/units or the week's total spots/units. You cannot change the Rot or day of week columns in Station's/Vendor's or Week's rows (totals rows).

To place spots/units by day:

1. Set up the grid for spot/unit placement:

• Open the Layouts menu in the toolbar and display the Station Distribution view.

• Open the Layouts menu again and select Spot Placement or Unit/Insertion Placement.

• Open the Layouts menu again and select Show Flight Detail to display rows for each week in the flight.

• If necessary, click the Expand/Collapse All Rows button in the toolbar to view the daypart/ad type rows.

2. Place the spots/units:

• In one row, double-click the cell for the day of the week to change.

The cell is orange after you double-click to indicate that you can type a number.

• Type a whole number of spots/units (no decimals) and press Enter.

• Repeat this step to change the number for other days in the row.

3. Click Save in the toolbar to keep your changes.

OR click Save As Save As to give the schedule a different name.
