Categories in Scheduler

Unlike some music schedulers, with Aiir Scheduler, an item can be in as many categories as you like.

When you schedule a category in one of your clocks, any item in that category may be chosen. Item separation rules can prevent any one item from being played too often, allowing you more flexibility in scheduling your station's music logs.

For example, you could have an "hour openers" category to play first in a clock, but you may also want songs in that category to be scheduled as part of another category.

✏️ Creating categories

To create a category:

From your Scheduler library, click 'Categories' at the top of the screen.
Click the green 'New Category' button.

You can add as many categories as you need in Aiir Scheduler.
Set its name, color, dig depth and how the items should be sorted:

Name	What you want the category to be called. Unlike some music schedulers, there is no limit on how many characters you can use here.
Color / Colour	The #HEX code for the shade you want to use to represent your category in Scheduler.
Dig depth	The percentage of items that will be considered for scheduling, before manual selection is required to fix a broken rule.
Test rules	Last: Prioritise other rules over category-specific ones. First: Prioritise category-specific rules over other rules. Exclusively: Only consider rules specific to that category.
Sort items by	Most rested: The items in the category which have gone the longest since they were last played. Ranked: You can manually drag-and-drop items in your category to order them.

Click 'Create category'.

Once created, you can modify these settings for an existing category by clicking the ✏️ (Edit) button in the upper-right corner of your screen while viewing a category.

🎶 Adding items to a category

Simply drag-and-drop audio items from your library drawer into the category screen on the right.

If you have the category sorted by rank, you can shuffle the order of items using the button in the upper-right corner of the screen after adding all the items you want.

🗑️ Removing an item from a category

To remove an item from a category, open the category, scroll to the item you want to remove, then press the three dots on the right and select 'Remove Item'.
