Export logs to Rivendell

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

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

💾 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 'Rivendell' from the dropdown list.
5. Choose either 'File download' to manually import the files, or connect a cloud storage account to automate the process.

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'.
