I tried print screen, but I would need a few print screens, I need to print a list of when a certain cart was played throught one month,
its been played 157 times, I can find the info but would have to print screen a few times. any more ideas?
Plus the PC that autotrak is on doesnt have any software to show a print screen image.

there has to be an easy way, maybe the new beta advert manager has fixed the problem of not being able to create a notepad file?
we'll see !!

Managed to get the advert saved as a CSv file which opens in word, but only ad by ad, rather than in one bulk block in AT,
at least its something !!

Hi Paul,

When you run the Cart report it should show you all the entries you want, if you then Shift-Click to select all the lines you want to export and hit the CSV button it will prompt you for where to save the file.

It only exports the 'selected' lines, so by default it only exports the one the highlight is on, so when you select them all it will export them all instead.

Will have another look later. Thanks for the tips so far !!

Hi Paul. Another solution would be a pdf printer. I had a play with advert play logs yesterday. SImply install software like cute pdf and highlight the lines you want to save then hit print  select pdf printer it will then allow you to save as a pdf file you can email to client.

Good Idea Glen !
Its difficult to get word docs copied from Myriad etc on pc's that are for playout onlt as they don't have any other software on,
but in this instance I think I need to make an exception.

Have we got any closer to ad manger being told/forced to play on a certain amount of ads per ad slot or even per hour ??

I'm still getting some bunching of ads, 15 ads per hour at 9am and 3 ads per hour later in the day,
if we had a simple button to calculate how many ad slots we have allocated, we could then say X amount per hour
Could be the answer to ad managers little niggle, apart from this it's very nearly there.

I'd also like to be able to force a certain ad to be the end advert.

is any of the above possible in a future update ?

Good call Paul!

I am finding that im also getting 6 ads in 1 break in the hour and 1 or 2 in the 2nd hour break.

I would like an option to force a break to a max length? ie set to max 2 mins per ad break. This would also mean that ads upto the news could be more accurately scheduled if the break was a set length.

Also we have a 'Newslink' ad which goes out after the news. At the moment I have to have it hard coded into every clock.

Can we have the option to set an ad to a specific time break or have a "Set timed break set" to allow say a particualr ad to only be scheduled at xx:02:00 break????

Glen, when we hav a newslink advert I mix this into the news jingle and adjust my absolute time to suit, our newslink always comes before the news, not after like yours.
i suppose youre doing it the same way realy, its just my way its only 1 entry in the clock.
