How do I set up the Default Playout Log Editing Mode to restrict what remote voice tracking users can edit?

The Default Playout Log Editing Mode setting in PlayIt Live allows you to control what remote voice tracking users can do when they connect to voice track remotely. This setting provides two levels of access for remote users.

You can configure this setting by going to Settings in PlayIt Live and selecting the Voice Tracking tab. Here you'll find the Default playout log editing mode option which allows you to choose between:

Full playout log editing - Remote users can edit the complete playout log for their assigned hours, including adding tracks, reordering items, and making comprehensive changes to the schedule.

Voice tracks and segues only - Remote users are restricted to only recording voice tracks and adjusting their segues. They cannot add new tracks or modify other elements of the playout log.

This default setting applies to all new users you create, but can be overridden on a per-user basis when editing individual user accounts in Manage > Users. When editing a user, you'll see a Playout Log Editing section where you can specify whether that particular user should have full editing rights or be restricted to voice tracks and segues only, regardless of the default setting.

This feature is particularly useful for stations that want to allow remote presenters to voice track their shows whilst maintaining control over the music scheduling and ensuring the playout log structure isn't accidentally modified by remote users.
