The Edit Event dialog consists of two main parts: a Library cart picker widget on the left
side, and an area showing the various event parameters on the right. Audio contained
within audio carts can be sampled by selecting the desired cart and then touching the Play
button. Programming an event basically consists of specifying four things: its log
parameters (transition and time types), the list of pre-import events, the event import (if
any) and the list of post-import events. The first matter to be decided is if the event
should have a hard start time: if so, then the Use hard start time box in the TIMED START
section should be checked. Checking this box will enable all of the usual hard start
parameters to be specified. If an automatic timed start is not desired, then it is possible to
check the Cue to this event box in the PREPOSITION LOG section. This will cause
RDLogManager to place a hard time with a 'Make Next' attribute on the first item of the
event – effectively, causing the event to be automatically “cued up” at the scheduled time
– something that can be particularly handy for keeping spot breaks in sync when
“overscheduling” music.
Next, if it is desired to have RDLogManager try to automatically insert material from the
Autofill List to ensure that the event has the length indicated by its parent clock, the Use
Autofill box in the ENFORCING LENGTH section should be checked. (Configuring the
Autofill List is covered in detail in the Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide). If
Autofill is enabled, it is also possible to check the Warn if fill is under or over box to have
RDLogManager generate a warning if it was unable to properly fill the event when the
