Stations Overview

The Station configuration in Zetta^® is used to add and customize stations. Each station can be customized by what computer runs the station, the players that the station uses and the way that overfilled and under-filled hours will be handled during on-air play. The top portion of the window shows a list of created stations with a toolbar to Add and Delete stations. The bottom portion of this window shows the selected station's station number and has tabs that are used to configure the station.
