As you work on a schedule, you'll want to save your changes frequently to capture your work. Tapscan stores your schedules safely, securely and confidentially on the Tapscan server for each person's unique ID and password.
It is not possible for others using Tapscan or for Nielsen employees to view your clients' information on rates or schedules that are stored on the Tapscan server.
If you choose, you can also save schedules on your computer's local or network drive.
Saved schedules are available as long as you subscribe to the market's data.

The newly saved schedule's name remains the same as the original.

To save the schedule to a local folder...
You can only save a schedule locally from the Schedules tab. You cannot save a schedule associated with a proposal to a local folder or network drive.
1. Open the Actions menu in the toolbar and select Save to Local Folder.
2. Save the schedule:
• In the File Download dialog, click the Save button.
• Navigate to the folder where you want to save the schedule.
• Change the file name as needed and make sure the extension is .tapxi.
You can use letters, numbers or special characters from the keyboard, except backslash (\) or slash (/), in the name. Avoid naming schedules with only numbers. A schedule with a numeral-only name (i.e., 1.tapxi) saved locally can cause unexpected results when you try to reopen it.
