Configure Item Groups
Item Groups are an important way for Visual Radio to differentiate between music, station, jingle, commercials and other types of audio you play within your Radio Automation software.
With the powerful Item Group configurator you select one “base-category”; Music, Station, Track or Unknown and define the conditions that should be met to make the Item Group active on the linked Automation Data.
When Radio Automation Data is parsed, all conditions will be checked to determine which item groups are active on the items from your radio automation.
Use Item Groups Conditionally
Item Groups are not limited to the 4 categories, you can define as many as you want, with different, unique identifiers to use them in your Conditions:
Changing your Item Group identifier afterwards will require you to relink conditions referencing this condition
