The Playlists pane displays the playlist(s) created for the selected channel. Viz Multichannel supports two types of playlists; continuous and broadcast day playlist. In addition it features a default playlist named Channel Pool.

When a playlist is opened, the primary and secondary events will be displayed in the right pane. In the Playlist pane you can view all the playlists you have for a specific channel.

Right-clicking on a playlist in the left pane displays a context menu of playlist commands:

  • Update Playlist: allows you to select one of the following update options:

    • Full Update: updates the entire playlist, primary and secondary events.

    • Full Update Without Event Deletion: updates the entire playlist, primary and secondary events; however, it will not delete already added events.

    • Update Times: Allows you to only update the event times according to the imported schedule.

  • Delete Playlist: Deletes the playlist.

  • Export Playlist: Exports the playlist to a native Viz Multichannel XML format. You can, as part of the export, also export the Graphics and Data.
