The 3rd Party Traffic File should contain ONLY Spots & perhaps SONG events.
Before Importing, you must have created & applied clocks that match the start times of the spot sets (commercial breaks). The clock will contain all of the Events, such as Timed Breaks, Floating Breaks, Source Switcher events, etc.
IMPORTING A TRAFFIC FILE
Scheduling > Import
Click on Find Import File, or select the Traffic file from the List of Import Files on the left.
Click on Clear Schedule and Import File.
This will clear out anything in the play schedule and import the selected Import schedule.
UPDATING A TRAFFIC FILE & RE-IMPORTING A TRAFFIC FILE
With the DHD clock system, you are able to update the traffic as often as you want without affecting the clock. Simply re-import your updated traffic file(s) as needed. If the clock needs to be altered, then the clock should be edited and reassigned to the Air Schedule.
There are 2 methods to re-importing the traffic file:
1. Select NEW Traffic file
Click on the Clear Schedule and Import File, to clear out what is currently scheduled in the hour and re-import the traffic file with the clock.
ANY CHANGES YOU MADE IN THE EDIT PLAY SCHEDULE WILL BE LOST.
2. Merge File into Schedule button to not alter what is currently scheduled in the hour, but only replace the traffic portions of the schedule. This is excellent for if you made changes to the schedule and not the clock, and want to keep the changes.
