• Rotate Copy and Assign Carts – Applies any copy rotation instructions to those spots that use Copy Plans, and assigns carts to spots if a valid cart number is available. When the process completes, the system will offer to preview the Cart/Copy Missing Report that shows which spots do not have available copy.
• Replace Invalid Copy - Scans the log and checks to make sure that all assigned copy is valid. If invalid copy is found, the invalid copy assignment is removed. Spots that have had copy removed are then run through the regular copy assignment process to see if there is valid copy to be assigned.
• Filler opens a two-item menu:
• Fill Log opens the Fill Log for Station dialog, allowing you to schedule Filler Spots to an official log.
• Clear Filler opens the Clear Filler Dialog, allowing you to remove selected, previously placed filler spots from the log.
