I agree with him. The new view is more complex and not easy to use. If there a lot of ads can not easily get information. In previous versions Radioboss automatically took the name, and now I have to type in every ad.
I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible. The old design had a major flaw, specifically, too little space for ad parameters. We can extend the list to include some of the parameters (add new columns) - I guess we'll need to collect some feedback first on what information should be included there.
A name can be auto-generated form the first audio file you add, this will be in the next update.
It's exactly what I had in mind.
Yes, noted for the next update.
OK. The columns will be configurable similar to playlist window and other lists.
I absolutely agree with southernfm!!
This information can be placed directly into the ads table - even on your screenshot there's large unused white area that can be populated with data. This allows a better overview of things and also adds table-related features like sorting and filtering. Placing those controls directly into the window will make it appear cluttered.
Multi importing is possible to implement here too, but we need to ensure there's demand for it. How often do you need to add multiple ads at once?
Editing ads parameters in a small area on the right was good once, but after adding all those additional options, this became really ugly. Lots of controls are placed densely in a narrow area. You already see the inadequately small "Comment" field and "Alternate tracks" moved to external window - this really looks like a temporary workaround (and in fact, it is).
Currently it works like everything else in RadioBOSS e.g. event scheduler where you have a list and edit each item in a separate window. So the pattern is familiar and should be accepted without any new things to learn. I wouldn't consider this as breaking change, also some modifications will be made based on discussion in this topic.
Key thing is that the info is on the main screen rather than a sub menu. The info coming up in columns should be okay.
OK, we'll see what other users have to say about this.
We do batch imports a fair bit, when we have an intake of Sponsors, a batch of Adhoc announcements, or to schedule in pre-records at the moment with covid. Heavier than it used to be pre-covid.
Yes, this is the point. You can have the ads that are totally different - commercial ads, political, social etc. Each set is configured independently, has its own intros and other rules.
That'd be very difficult because it has different grids/blocks, and converting from one to another is almost impossible to do properly. E.g. if original block had ad scheduled at 15:15, but the new profile doesn't have suck slot.
In this case, those ads can be scheduled as separate items. This would be easier.
Probability option already presents in the new Ads Scheduler.
Yes, we have this feature planned for the future but I'm not sure at this moment when or if it's going to be implemented. I agree in the current implementation it will have lots of unused slots if you need different minutes for hours and the grid is bigger than it should.
Do you have different hours/minutes for days? Can you please provide an example of the blocks you have?
Yes, it will be on the main screen. An updated beta version with extended ads list should be released today.
