Spot Requirements filter and control which spots can be selected by the Optimiser. Entering spot requirements allows you to control what type of spots will be bought.

 

For example: only buy spots in time range W, channel X and duration Y where the CPT is less than $ Z.

 

Adding a new Spot Requirement

A new spot requirement can be added by using the Add Spot Requirement drop down in the menu on the left.

Flights

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.
