ROTATOR

​

Only Private Bins can be rotators. Public bins and other shared bins cannot rotate.

 

Make a Bin a Rotator: Select the bin, the click +/- above the bin name to open that bin in the Bin Manager. In the Bin Manager pop-up where it says "Is Rotator," select True and click Save. An ® will appear by the bin name and ID to indicate it is now a rotating bin.

 

Un-Rotate a Bin: Repeat the steps above. Choose False for Is Rotator, and Save. Your bin now operates as usual. Messages entered in while in rotation will remain in your grid.

 

Using Rotator: Click each cell where you want scripts from the Rotator bin. You do not need to go back to the bin to select a message. As you click each new cell, Rotator will automatically insert the next script in the bin.

​

New Day: The sequence of rotated scripts will continue throughout the drive.

​

Copying Days and Hours: When copying days and hours, the rotator function is copied and the next script in the rotation will be inserted in the copied cell.

​

Number of scripts needed in the bin: The rotator will function with as few as two scripts and as many as you wish in the bin. 

​

Tips

• The rotation of scripts will flow sequentially from left to right across the hour, not vertically through the break.

• Avoid multiple uses of the same rotating bin in one break, unless there are many scripts in that bin.

• If you add, delete, or edit a script in a rotating bin, the change in the grid will not take effect until some action for that bin is applied to the planning grid. You must add in a new episode of a rotator, or remove and replace an existing episode of a rotator for all rotated scripts to be reordered.
