Conflict
Introduction
Clicking on the New button in conflicts or Left click "File" in the main menu and click "New" brings up the conflict window.
Usage
The above window shows what will be displayed when you create a new
conflict.
Name
The
name field should be populated with something meaningful representing the category of advertising that will be used in order to determine whether a conflict occurs in an effort to create a reasonable separation buffer.
Separation
When the spots are scheduled on the
Log, several rules are evaluated in order to create / enforce the space between various scheduled items. Two of these rules are based on
Conflict (Primary and Secondary - defined on the
Contract). When evaluating the primary and/or secondary conflicts, the type of separation defined for the individual
Conflict is evaluated and there are three basic types:
NoneWhen the separation method is set to
None, the primary/secondary conflict evaluation are skipped during the automatic placement process on the
Log.
MinutesA separation method of
Minutes requires defining how many minutes will be used in determining how far apart similar items (with the same
conflict) can be placed. Keep in mind that the amount of time is on both sides of the item being placed compared to both sides of other items already placed.
AvailsSeparation method of
Avails requires specifying the number of avails between similar items (with the same
conflict).
