PlayIt Live allows you to schedule multiple hours efficiently by scheduling a date range in the playout log rather than scheduling hour by hour.

To bulk schedule multiple hours, go to Manage > Playout Log and set your desired date range using the Range start time and Range end time selectors. You can schedule anything from a few hours to several days or weeks at once. Once you've set your range, click the Schedule button to generate all playout log items for the entire period based on your scheduled clocks and playout pattern.

If you haven't set up clocks yet, first create hourly templates via Manage > Clocks, then schedule them to specific time slots via Manage > Clock Schedule. For hours without scheduled clocks, PlayIt Live uses your playout pattern to fill the time. This bulk scheduling approach is particularly useful when preparing programming for holidays, extended periods, or when setting up automation well in advance.

You can also enable the Log Scheduler switch on the main interface to automatically keep the next 15 minutes to 24 hours scheduled at all times, eliminating the need for manual bulk scheduling.
