5.5 Log Directives

Log Directives are a special key component of the broadcast log (schedule). Log Directives serve a

number of purposes:

They provide specific instructions to XStudio regarding program execution. Examples

include marking the commercial break that will play next in Satellite mode, causing an

XStudio Action to execute at a specific log time, and causing XStudio to play audio at a

specific time.

They serve as visual markers, separating logical groups of program content in addition to

normal log items like program titles and log notes.

They are used in calculating content length for audio elements associated with the Log

Directive.

They are used in calculating the hourly audio content totals.

There are several types of Log Directives, each with a specific purpose that relates to program

execution. This topic outlines the types of Directives that can be used with XStudio.

XStudio processes Log Directives in different ways, depending on the mode of

operation at the moment the directive is executed. In some cases, the

directives are ignored. Review the description of each directive for details on

how modes affect processing of the directive.

Some Log Directive types can also contain directive "keys" or "modifiers". These are special characters

added to the directive description field, typically in the first character position, that affect the directive's

meaning and behavior. For clarity, these items are referred to as a directive key.

Directive Types and Directive Keys

Log Directive types are not visible on the XStudio log display as a default. Directive keys, which are a

part of the directive description, are visible as a default. See the topic on Customizing Log Column

Visibility for details on how to make directive types visible on the log.

Log Directive Types and Keys

For information on creating and editing Log Directives within XStudio, see the topics on Editing a Log,

Load Directive, Load Window, Execute Function and Play Cart Directive.

The table below includes base information on available Log Directive types and keys along with links to

additional details on each. The characters contained in the Log column of the table indicate what is

displayed on the XStudio log during operation. In the case of directive types, the information is

displayed in the Dir Type column. Directive keys appear in the Description column.
