Adding an existing sequence to a schedule
Usually, you add a sequence to a schedule by dragging it from the Sequences list and dropping
it into the Schedule Grid. iTX handles the sequence as a single block of events, which you can
move anywhere in your current schedule.
If the start time of the sequence is not within an interval called the Schedule Lookahead time of
the channel you are working in, iTX displays a single entry for the sequence in the Schedule
Grid; it displays a single block to represent the sequence on the Timeline Display.
When the start time of the sequence falls within the Schedule Lookahead time, iTX displays a
plus sign in front of the entry in the Schedule Grid. By clicking the plus sign, you can expand the
entry and view the individual events. On the Timeline Display, blocks for the individual events
replace the single block for the sequence.
Note:
• Your system administrator can set the length of the Schedule Lookahead time.
