backIntroduction
RadioTraffic converts to a specific Smartscaster log format.
Station Configuration
To configure RadioTraffic to work with Smartscaster, you will first need modify the station configuration to utilize Smartscaster as the automation system. In the administration module, open 'Stations'. Select the station you want to configure and double click. Once the station configuration is visible, select the 'Files' tab. Select the 'Product' to Smartscaster using the drop down selection tool. The 'Automation Log Path' is where RadioTraffic will export the log to, so set this to the file system folder that Smartscaster will pull the file from.
Cart Numbers
Smartscaster system can use cart number from up to 5 digit cart numbers.
Automation Commands
RadioTraffic exports the cart number portion of automation commands.
Log Notes
Due to limitations in Smartscaster, log notes do not export.
Programs
Due to limitations in Smartscaster, log notes do not export.
Breaks
Although breaks do not export per se, the export process will leverage the breaks to determine which Smartscaster "break" is scheduled. Smartscaster only supports 12 breaks per hour; thus RT will only export up to the first 12 breaks per hour. Additionally, each break can have no more than 10 items per break; any additional items are not exported.
Automatic Log Reconciliation
We also support automatic log reconciliation for the Smartscaster as-aired logs. To configure this feature, you need to determine where these files are located on your network and use that path to configure the "Aired Log Path".
Note that you will need to reconcile your logs daily as Smartscaster only stores the last seven days worth of as-play information across seven files representing each day.
