Inserting folders into the data sources

You can insert an arbitrary number of folders of the folder type Program versions or Series into the data sources which will serve as a further data source to schedule events into your plan. These are usually folders that were created and "filled" in the ContentExplorer by you or other users. In order to insert a folder into the data sources, please proceed as follows:

1. Right-click on one of the data sources. This opens a context menu.

2. In the menu, select the option Insert folder: A new tab is inserted into the data sources tabs (DATAPAGE). Here you can create a new folder or use an existing folder for scheduling events:

   • Use an existing folder: Search for the desired folder in the drop-down list. Click once on the folder to open it - its entries are listed similar to other data sources lists. Now you can schedule events from this list per drag and drop.

   • Create a new folder: Select the entry New from the drop-down list, then click on the button . A pop-up window will appear, asking whether you want to create a new folder. If you click on Yes, the dialog Edit folder opens and you can enter the required information.
     

Removing Tabs

In order to arrange the data sources tabs more clearly, it makes sense to remove all folders which you do not need anymore. To remove a tab please make a right-mouse click on the respective folder and select the option Remove tab. The folder will be removed from this view (but it is not deleted!).

Arranging Tabs and Folders in the Data Sources

All tabs of the data sources are lined up next to each other. You can determine the succession of the tabs individually according to priority:

1. Click on one of the tabs by clicking and holding the mouse.
2. Drag the tab to the position you want. A thin vertical line appears showing you the current position of the tab.

3. Move this line to the place you desire and release the mouse. The tab will jump to this new position.

Unhinging Tabs or Folders from the Data Sources

The tabs and folders of the data sources window can be unhinged and placed freely within your screen via drag and drop. That way you can use several tabs simultaneously:

1. Click on the tab you want to unhinge:
2. Click and hold the mouse while unhinging the folder from the data sources.
3. Release the mouse to drop the folder at the desired position.
   

You can repeat this action with folders or other tabs. 

Now you can work with all unhinged folders/tabs AND the data sources tabs simultaneously, e. g. copying events from the search tab to a folder or just scheduling events into the program schedule.

You can re-position the tab into the data sources by making a double click on the unhinged tab or by dragging it back into the data sources bar and dropping it at the desired position.

Insert Data into a Folder

After you unhinged a folder, open the tab Search. Start a search, highlight the required versions and move them to the folder in the program schedule per drag-and-drop.

Delete data from the folder

In order to delete an entry from the folder, please highlight this entry in the folder, right-click and select the option Remove clip from hit list.
