Playlist forms
Music fields
Enable fields you want to track, you can also make them required or hideable in playlists. Click the pencil icon to add/edit the value list of selector fields, such as Genre and Media. Below the list is a mockup playlist entry form.
Non-music fields
You can log both music and non-music items in playlists. DJs can add non-music items, such as PSA, Station ID, Set break, talk segment, etc. to playlists once you set up this feature.
Here you can set the categories & title for them, even add a description, make it editable and public or private.
Automation & API

Schedule
The schedule is presented as a calendar where you can maintain your station’s regular shows. When you enter a show it can repeat weekly, monthly or not repeat at all. If a show runs for a limited time, i.e. a semester, you can set the start and end date for it. As an admin you can add and edit any shows, and as long as the show has no playlist(s) you can also delete it. Once a show has playlist(s) you can not delete it but can set an end date to remove it from the calendar.
