The schedule for the day starts at the default setting of 12A, but you can specify any Hour as a start point in the Broadcast Start Hour in Setup section Daypart Assignment window. The Date Selection field and the Hours slider bar, immediately below, allow you to navigate in the schedule by entering a date and selecting an hour in the slider bar. You can also use the up and down arrow keys, the Page Up/Down keys, and the vertical scrollbar at right.
To view any date and time in the schedule, use the Date field and Hour slider. Select the Date by clicking the drop-down or using the Keyboard Shortcut command Shift+F10, and the Hour by clicking and sliding the blue hour indicator.
TIP: You can also open the Date control, and click or enter on a selected Date to open the Editor at that Date.
When you open the Editor window, it displays the last date and hour that you requested. You can jump to any hour by clicking and dragging the hours slider, or by clicking on an hour on the slider bar.
To jump to the start of the Previous Hour, use the keyboard shortcut F3. If the current hour is 12AM the F3 will jump to 11PM hour of the previous day.
To jump to the start of the Next Hour, use the keyboard shortcut F4. If the current hour is 11PM the F4 will jump to 12AM hour of the next day.
To jump to the start of the Current Hour, use the keyboard shortcut Alt+F3.
NOTE: When you select the AM/PM section of the hour field, the Spin Edit buttons allow you to jump from, say 7AM to 7PM, and vice versa. Note too that if you come to the end of a broadcast day, clicking the Hour spin edit field will take you back to the start of the day that is loaded in the Editor. The change the day, use the date field.
The current airtime for the selected log item, and the total time for the current hour are displayed at the bottom of the Editor window. When a Spot Block End row is highlighted the status bar only displays Total Time. These fields cannot be edited.
The Gap Time shown at the bottom of the window next to the Total Time is the difference between the duration between two ETMs, and the total duration of all program elements scheduled between those ETMs. A Gap Time of 0:00 indicates the scheduled program elements exactly fill the time between the ETMs. A positive Gap Time indicates the portion of the schedule between the two ETMs is overscheduled. A negative Gap Time indicates the portion of the schedule between the two exact time markers is underscheduled. Hit ETM's will be ignored when figuring the Gap time at the bottom of the window. The Gap time will respect the Include Average Runtime for Unscheduled Position option when selected in the Setup | Station | Features | Miscellaneous window.
The multi user notification system is a message box that pops open in the upper right area of the main GSelector window whenever another user has made a change to a song, a link or a schedule. The message indicates the change made and the user who made the change. It does not show changes you make, just others. This feature works best when users have been defined under GSelector security. Schedule changes made in the Editor are automatically pushed to all workstations. For example, if User A deletes a scheduled song in a particular hour and User B is looking at that same hour at another workstation, User B will immediately see the change made by User A. The notifications message box can be opened at any time by clicking the notification 
icon in the upper right of the main GSelector window. These notifications can be turned off by deselecting the Notifications options in the Notifications message window.
Every change made in the Editor is immediately written to the database. This useful feature was necessary for the Multi User Schedule Synchronization feature to operate properly but it will also make work faster since there is no need to stop work and save the schedule changes manually.
NOTE: Use the Export to Zetta toolbar button in the Editor to send schedule changes to Zetta. To make this easier for you we detect those hours that have been changed and show a ‘Synchronize Changed Hours’ option.
NOTE: This illustration does not show the Master Control Export, or the NexGen synchronization buttons. Buttons for these products replace the Zetta button when integration for these product is enabled.
The controls in the top toolbar apply to all panes. When working in Multiple Pane mode, this toolbar row remains the same; the bottom toolbar is pane-specific, and so is split to provide a toolbar for each pane. To Hide the top toolbar use the Hide Toolbar option in the Editor Menu of the GSelector Menu. To show the top toolbar when it is not visible use the Show Toolbar option in the Editor Menu. Toolbar buttons may vary in color based on the Appearance Style selected.
Note: As new toolbar options are added with GSelector upgrades, the Toolbar may need to be reset. Click the Customize Toolbar button at the far right end of the toolbar and then Reset Toolbar option to reset the Editor toolbar.

Click the arrow to the right of this button to select either Retest Day or Show Linear Violations. The Retest Day can be used after the user has edited the Day. It will also implement the current Hotspot filter if the Editor Hotspot filter pane is open. Where enabled, use the Keyboard Shortcut Shift+F9 to reapply all Goal Tests to the day. The Show Linear Violations option can be used to dramatically call attention to songs, links, vocalists, artists and/or titles which are rotating too quickly. These violations will trigger the highlighting of a complete line in the Editor where the violation occurs. After enabling this feature, click the Parameters toolbar button to set a Turnover Threshold for songs, links, vocalists, artists and/or titles in the Parameters dialog box. Threshold is the maximum variance from the element’s or participant’s turnover allowed. For example: If a song’s turnover is 10 hours and the song Threshold is set to 80% the Appearance will be triggered if the song is repeated within less than 8 hours of another play. These Editor Appearances can be customized in the Global Settings Appearances tab. The Score Slotted Songs and Links and the Score Specific Links options are enabled by default. The Scheduler does not score these record types during scheduling. GSelector will do a score calculation but it will not consider this score for scheduling purposes. The scoring is for visual purposes only. For example: You use slotted on Category A and B but you want to see if there are any vocalist violations. For this purpose scoring the slotted songs is helpful. To disable the scoring of Slotted Songs and Links or Specific Links, click the option to un-check the menu option. NOTE: You may need to do an Editor | Reset Toolbar to see all these options. |

A Song may have a good Score overall, but be failing relatively badly in one area. If there is a marked difference between the lowest and the overall score, this tells you that one of your goals is not getting you the results you need. You can review all your goals for any Song position in the Failure Details and Test Bar Windows. For Exact Time Markers, Spotset Holders and Spot Block Start element this field displays the Gap Time. After Traffic Integration, GSelector adjusts the Runtime of Spotset Holders and Spot Block Start markers to reflect the cumulative time of the actual spot load. It then displays the difference between the element’s intended Runtime and the cumulative runtime of the scheduled spots. This provides quick feedback on whether the actual spot load is longer or shorter than intended. Consider a 2:00 Spotset Holder followed by one or more spots with a total duration of 1:30. The Runtime of the Spotset Holder will be adjusted from 2:00 to 1:30 once the spots are in place and the Gap Time will be -00:30, to indicate that the spotset is 30 seconds short. Given this information RCS would suggest the names of the Spotset Holders or Spot Block Start markers to include their intended Runtime - "2:00 Spotset," for example.
Rotation Rules set to Breakable status, any Song that fails the rule and setting you define will be assigned a score of 0, and this value will be displayed in this field. For more details, see the Rotation Rules and Station - Features window topics.
The Score figure, shown in the Editor for each item in the Log, is a combination of all the scores for every goal set for the item in this log position. A score value is also shown in the score field for each item displayed in the Consideration window. If you think of your goals as your scheduling 'Yellow Brick Road'... this field tells you how far you have strayed away from the chosen course. The higher the value, the closer this song in this position is to meeting the goals you have set for this Song and its Attributes. The lower the value, the further this song in this position is from meeting your goals. The maximum score is 100. For more information on how the GSelector determines the score you see here, see the Scoring section of the Priorities Definition topic.
TIP: The more goals you implement, the more you create the potential for goal conflicts. If you have lots of goals implemented, and some of the demands you make are extreme - or in conflict with the natural balance of your library - the lower your score values will tend to be. Rotation Rules set to Breakable status, any rule that fails the setting you define will be assigned a score of 0. This will in turn bring the average score down. For more details, see the Rotation Rules Window and the Legacy Rotation Rules topics.
The Info field is used to enter data about the event. Click the drop-down arrow in this field to open a free form text field. This information can be printed out. If integrated with Zetta the user information field can be used to enter the External ID of the Zetta Rotation or Zetta Show that is to be scheduled. The User Data filed can be used to specify the filename of the Zetta External audio.
This field displays an icon for the current schedule status of the log item. Hover the mouse over the icon to view the description of the status icon. The field can display the following status messages:
Scheduled - The Scheduled status 
is displayed if the item is scheduled and not moved in any way
Unscheduled - The Unscheduled status 
is displayed if the item has been unscheduled.
Flown In - The Flown In status 
is displayed when a related link has been scheduled using fly-In.
Inactive - The Inactive status 
is displayed when the History has reached the number of Active days set in Setup | Station | Features | History window. During startup, GSelector checks to see if there are any past schedule dates eligible for deactivation. If there are, they are deactivated, a process which reduces the size of the schedule and renders certain editing features inoperative. When a day is deactivated, each of its schedule positions take on a status of Inactive.
The following additional status values are displayed when GSelector is integrated with Zetta, NexGen or Master Control.
Playing - The Playing status 
is shown when an event is playing in the integrated automation system. When an event is showing the status of Playing the Editing options in the bottom toolbar of the Editor are disabled. Note: This status is only shown when integrated with Zetta 4.0 or higher.
Played - The Played status 
is displayed if the item played successfully in the play out system.
Cued - The Cued status 
is displayed when the event is Cued in the integrated automation system. Note: This status is only shown when integrated with Zetta 4.0 or higher.
Failed - The Failed status 
is displayed if the item fails to complete such as, fading early or missing audio.
Skipped - The Skipped status 
is displayed if the item was skipped for any reason in the play out system.
Voice Tracked - The Voice Tracked status 
is displayed if the item was voice tracked using the play out system.
Scheduled Fallback - The Scheduled Fallback 
status is shown when a position is scheduled using a Fallback.
Note: The following editing functions are disabled if the schedule position has been sequenced (status of Played, Playing or Failed): Insert Song / Link / Other, Replace, Juggle, Cut, Paste, Delete and Move (via mouse).
These fields are typically used with Zetta, Master Control and other third party sequencers. Each field can be enabled for Editor Browse formats by checking that field's box in the Station | Features | Clock window. This will also display the enabled field in the Clock Definition window. When a Chain setting is selected, it will also display Chain Settings fields in the Fly-In position pane when defining a Fly-In Link relationship. The drop-down in the Editor Behavior column of the Clock tab in the Station-Features window can also be used to set whether to Juggle or Don't Juggle these values when two positions are juggled in the Editor. The default setting is to Juggle.
These columns can be moved an resized as needed. When a user moves or resizes one of these columns the layout can be saved with the current Browse Format for the user. Therefore, any edits to these columns in the Editor are only applicable to the current user. Advanced Clock/Schedule Columns can be removed from display in Multiple Panes. For details, see the notes in the Default section if this topic.
For more information on each field, follow these links to the Clocks Definition window topic:

If you have login credentials for Media Monitors and an Internet connection on your GSelector workstation, you can add Annotations to your GSelector schedules to indicate where various Media Monitors “Features” are located. After doing this, you can then use the Feature Tracker capabilities of Media Monitors to see the effectiveness of your feature programming.
Enable this feature by entering a valid Media Monitors Username and Password by clicking the Validate User toolbar 
button in the Media Monitors Interface window of GSelector. Then select a Feature Tracker Station in the Feature Tracker Settings window using the Feature Tracker Settings toolbar 
button. If the Media Monitors Interface window is not available, contact a Media Monitors representative for a license.
After enabling the feature, work in the GSelector Editor to define one or more Features. Do this by clicking the right arrow 
button in the User Data column. Initially this will prompt the user to install the Media Monitors Audio Player. The Player allows the audio to be played using the Add Annotation play controls. Click the Please click here to install, to install the player to the local computer. Click the Do Not Install the using the Add Annotation window without the player.\
Clicking the Please click here to install will start the installer.
Click Next and then Install.
Note: This will also install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package which may require a restart of the computer.
This will open the following Add Annotation dialog box for the associated schedule position.
The dialog box provides navigation controls and an audio player for previewing Media Monitors audio directly.
You will then see information in the User Data column pertaining to the Annotation and Feature. All new or edited Features in the day are sent to Media Monitors when you save your GSelector schedule.
NOTE: It takes some time for the information to be transmitted and made available in Media Monitors. Once present there, use Feature Tracker in Media Monitors to analyze the Feature programming.
These two fields are displayed at the bottom of the Editor Browse. They display, respectively, the Average of the Lowest Individual Score, and the Average Overall Score for all Songs in the Editor across the day.
TIP: You can filter the day's output by the lowest score, setting a Lowest Score threshold, below which Songs with Low Scores are highlighted in the Editor window. See the notes on Using Appearances with Score Thresholds.
This field, at the bottom of the Editor pane, beneath the runtime field, displays the total runtime of all items for the selected day. Some Entry Types such as Spot Block End and items that were skipped/failed by an integrated or reconciled automation system do not have a Runtime and will not be calculated in the Total Time for the day.
You can add a number of further fields to any Editor format. See the Browse Formats Design window topic for full details.
Airtime field
This field, when added to a format, displays the airtime of the event calculated from start of each hour. This field can also be used in Schedule Reports, and when designing an Export Schedule format. Some Entry Types such as Spot Block End and items that were skipped/failed by an integrated or reconciled automation system do not have Air times; in this case, the field is blank. If the station is integrated with Zetta and the Hard Time value is set for a Zetta Execute Command, Zetta Macro and Zetta Record Control event, when the log is scheduled the Air Time column will show the Hard Time and the Zetta hard time 
icon for the event. Events played, in Zetta, from the Hot Keys, Stacks or Z-Player modules will show an injected icon 
next to the air time. Hovering over the icon will display a tool tip showing which module injected the event.
This field, when added to a format, displays the airtime of the event without resetting at the top of every hour, calculated as starting from the Broadcast Start Hour. This field can also be used in Schedule Reports, and when designing an Export Schedule format. Some Entry Types such as Spot Block End and items that were skipped/failed by an integrated or reconciled automation system do not have Cumulative Airtime's; in this case, the field is blank.
NOTE: Editor screens display one 24 hour period for a selected date - but see also the notes on using Multiple Panes. One or more people can edit the Log simultaneously across a network. If more than one person is working in the same day, it is possible for one person to overwrite another person's edits. When working in the same day, we suggest that multiple users develop an editing protocol to prevent accidental overwrites. It is most important to save your work as you go.

The Broadcast Start Hour is defined in the Daypart Assignment window. It defaults to 12A, but can be set from 12A-11A. When working in the Editor, the 24 hour period accessed starts at the Hour point specified in this field. For example, if the Broadcast Start Hour is 5A and you edit 8/19, you are editing from 8/19 at 5A through to 8/20 at 4A.
When a Broadcast Start Hour other than 12A is specified, the Editor starts at the defined Broadcast Start Hour time. So the 24 hour period displayed in the Editor for the selected Scheduled Date will span two days. Under these conditions, the Header field also displays the Date of the actual Broadcast Day being edited.

The Editor supports Drag and Drop editing in a number of modes. As you drag, GSelector pops a reminder pane of the item you are dragging.
Drag and Drop between Multiple Panes
Drag and Drop from Consideration window
This allows you to move items within the current day.
You can drag and drop between multiple panes in the Editor, but the functionality varies depending on whether you are working with panels on the same or different days. Note that the Cut/Copy/Paste options are not supported across multiple panes.
A drag and drop between 2 panes on the same day moves the item, deleting it from the source hour, and inserting in the target hour.
A drag and drop between 2 panes on different days copies the item, leaving it in place in the source hour but also inserting in the target hour.
See also the working notes in the Editor Consideration window topic.
You can drag items from the Consideration window into the Log pane. GSelector supports the Windows selection conventions listed here. This lets you select one or multiple items in the Consideration window, and then insert the item or items in the Log pane, above a selected log position, or replace the selected position with the selected item or items
Voice Tracks recorded in Zetta are sent to GSelector. These Voice Tracks can be Auditioned using the Play Controls at the top of the GSelector window or by using the CTRL+F11 keys on the keyboard.
See the Using Audio in GSelector topic for more information on playing audio.
GSelector can display the percentage of all Songs or Links, for each hour of the current day, and for four selected time periods, which have a Lowest Score value you can define. To set a Lowest Score Threshold, select the Set Lowest Threshold option immediately beneath the Lowest Score option.
Highlight Filter Dropdown Menu
Viewing percentages of Songs or Links by Threshold, Filter or List
Using Appearances with Score Thresholds
Click the Highlight button or press Ctrl+H. The menu offers four grouped options:
No Filter
Lowest Score and Set Threshold options
Song Filters
Song Lists
The selected option can be used to display percentage distribution, while the Lowest Score Threshold can be used to apply an Appearance to specific items.
This pane is opened from the Highlight Filter Drop-down menu. It is used to specify the threshold for the Lowest Score filter. Songs and Links with Lowest Scores less than or equal to the specified score are highlighted in the Editor pane.
You can view distribution of Songs or Links by Lowest Score Threshold, or Songs by any selected Filter or List. In this illustration, the score has been set to 75.
To use Appearances with Highlighted items, design and apply an Appearance to the Editor Highlight element in the Appearances Global Assignment window. When a List or Filter is selected in the Highlight Filter drop-down menu, the Appearance defined will be used for matching items.
Things are slightly more complex when working with Score Threshold Highlights:
If the Highlight is based on the Lowest Threshold, as defined in the Highlight Filter drop-down menu, and the Editor Score Threshold option is also enabled, apply Appearances as follows:
If the Highlight value is equal to or greater than the Score Threshold value, use the Highlight Appearance.
If the Highlight value is less than the Score Threshold value, use the Editor Score Threshold Appearance in the Appearances Global Assignment window for elements scoring above or equal to the Highlight value, and use the Editor Highlight appearance for elements scoring below the Highlight value.
The Failure Details window also highlights failures below the Highlight Lowest Threshold using the Editor Highlight appearance. This works regardless of the Highlight setting (None, Lowest, [Current Filter], Filter/List) and cannot be turned off. If the Lowest Threshold is set to 0 it will only highlight unbreakable 0 failures. The Highlight appearance can be set to [None] if Editor Highlight feature is not being used.
Where enabled in the Toolbar 
, this feature allows you to search for items by the first letter in the title.

When you insert a Song using any of the methods detailed here, you run the risk of a conflict with the Category Spread Goal. So while all Songs are presented in best order for your selected Goals in the Consideration window, the Category Spread Goal is ignored in this instance. For details on Spread goals, see the Priorities window. When selecting the Twofer option, all songs by the artist that immediately precede this position will be suppressed from the Consideration pane. The songs displayed in the Consideration pane will respect the Match with Vocalist or Artist setting in the Classic Twofers section of the Setup | Station | Features | Twofers tab.
