u Import Avail List from text file exported from Excel.
u The Import Avail List function imports and adds new Programs to the database from a text file.
u The file to be imported can hold additional columns for Series, Episode, and Contract information.
u The File Format button specifies the text file format to be imported and indicates the position of each column. It will allow the user to specify each field before importing.
u The Title and Distributor fields are not optional. If not present, the column number should be indicated as "0" (zero). The fields that can be used are as follows:
- MaxCols : number of columns in the file imported
- Distrib : distributor
- Title : the program title in the contract
- Contract : contract number
- Series : series title
- Episode : episode number
- Categ : program category according to the distributor (FR, LIB, ...)
- Service : channel to be broadcast
- Avail : start date of broadcast rights
- Status : contracting status information
- Msg : notes and observations on the Miami Avail List
u The system copies and cross-references the record data into the database. 4C-TV uses Program, Series, or Episode titles not found to update the screen.
