Export logs to WideOrbit

Scheduler allows you to export logs in formats compatible with several popular playout automation systems, including WideOrbit.

On this page, we'll explain how to configure a WideOrbit station output in Scheduler and explain what needs to be configured in WideOrbit to automatically import the logs.

💾 Exporting from Scheduler

1. From your Scheduler dashboard, click the Station Outputs button on the top navigation bar.
2. Click 'New station output'.
3. Select your station.
4. Choose 'WideOrbit' from the dropdown list.
5. Choose either 'File download' to manually import the files, or connect a cloud storage account to automate the process.
6. Once configured, click 'Create station output'.

After configuring your station output, you can then return to your library and press the 'Export' button on the sidebar on the left.

You just need to choose which days' logs to export and press 'Export Logs'.
