Plan Variants

 Variants are schedules that refer to a certain channel and serve as alternative to the actual schedule. This can be useful in various ways:

• Variants can serve as alternative in case you have to ponder between several options.
• Variants can serve as substitute schedules, in case scheduled events have to be can celled or take more time than expected.

Variants are stored in the database and can be transferred to the actual schedule if required. Every user who is entitled to edit a program plan is also entitled to edit the corresponding variants. Typically, variants cover whole days, weeks or months. Variants belong to a user to realize the option of an individual scheduling.
