Programs and hosts

Programs and Hosts are reusable libraries that make scheduling faster and give your calendar consistent labels.

Programs

A program is a show entry with:

• Title
• Description
• Host (linked to a host name)

Managing programs

1. Open Programs in the sidebar.
2. Click New program to create one.
3. Fill in title, description, and host.
4. Save.

You can edit or delete programs from the same view.

Using programs on the schedule

When creating or editing a schedule slot, search for and select a program. The slot inherits the program's title, description, and host.

You can still override the title or description on individual slots after selecting a program.

Hosts

A host is a named presenter with a calendar color. Hosts appear on schedule slots and in the player bar.

Managing hosts

1. Open Hosts in the sidebar.
2. Click New host.
3. Enter a name and pick a color.
4. Save.

Edit or delete hosts from the list. Deleting a host does not remove historical slot references, but the host will no longer appear in pickers.

Using hosts on the schedule

When editing a slot, assign one or more hosts from the multi-select field. Host colors appear on the calendar for quick visual identification.

You can also create a new host inline while editing a program or schedule slot.

Relationship between programs and hosts

• Each program has one primary host name.
• Schedule slots can list multiple hosts.
• Host names are shared across programs, slots, and the hosts library.

Tips

• Create hosts before programs so program creation can link to them.
• Use programs for recurring shows with stable titles and descriptions.
• Use host colors to distinguish presenters at a glance on busy schedule days.
