Schedule Splits

Schedule Splits are used to control how spots are spread across a schedule.

i.e. what % of spots will be in Peak time or what is my weekly TARP/$ targets.

If no splits are defined then the Optimiser will attempt to evenly spread spots within the constraints of the other rules that have been specified.

 

Add a Schedule Split

Navigate to the side bar and click on Add Schedule Split. Select one of the options available under Standard.

Station Groups

RN.2018Q3.SO.StationGroups

 

 

This provides a selection of station groups for reporting purposes. Contact our support team if you have additional station group requirements you would like added as an option.

 

The new station groups can be used within the Schedule Optimiser in split grids to group stations together in a report friendly manner.

 

E.g. Cost reported by Station Group – Prime includes both SKY and Warner Bros. Discovery spend and TVNZ aggregates all TVNZ channels.

 

 

Flight

RN.2018Q3.SO.ChannelTARPSFlight

 

 

Where flights are available the Schedule Optimiser can utilize the flight attribute to set goals by flight.

 

The advantage of a flight goal is you can specify goals, without the need to specify individual weekly goals.

 

This allows the Optimiser to vary weights by week to achieve the best selection of programmes, while still achieving your Flight Goal.

 

 

 

 

Adding a Split Objective

Add Share Splits (0:06); Select column header to split objective by (0:16); Enter Share values (0:28)
