Change estimates in a schedule

Add or remove columns that appear in a schedule. You will select estimates separately for each media type's schedule.

• If you select multiple demos, you can select estimates for each demo.

• Estimates in the Available box are sorted in non-demo, demo, and qualitative order by default. You can sort on either Demo or Estimate columns in the Available box.

• Many demo-based estimates are unavailable for NTR schedules, and will appear as blank cells in the All Media tab.

• Qualitative estimates that display as percentages round to the nearest tenth of a percent (i.e., 65.5%).

• You can reorder the sequence of columns from left to right to group estimates on the schedule.

• While you will always see the estimates on your screen, all estimates may not fit on a printed schedule .

More about the schedule default layout...

• This default layout is only for schedules; the report default layout is separate.

• When you create a new schedule, your default estimate layout displays in the grid.
