Dynamic Slot assignment multiple slots selection

Post by Maartenvn »

Hi Bernd

Right now ProppFrexx has a filter for entering a string that should be present inside a slot or overlay name. However, this is not flexible enough for our use-case.

Image

We have 4 advertising slots:
* Block A
* Block B
* Block C
* Block D

Since these slots are scheduled at different time hours certain clients may only be assigned specific of those slots, dynamically (eg: Block A on one hour, block B on another hour, but never block C or D)

We need to use the dynamic assignment as we want some variety in the advertisement blocks and we need to guarantee the amount of playouts for a specific client.

I propose adding a filter when dynamically assigning slots to select which slots should be included from a dropdown.

Thank you in advance!

I tried using semicolons or comma's on the overlay and slot filter, which is supported on the "except" filter but that isn't working either, unless I am doing something wrong here :smile:

Yes, currently you can 'only' contain an overlay, slot or reference name, which acts as a 'contains' filter. I.e. the give text must be contained in the effective overlay, slot or reference name.
I'll take a look, if I can add a feature for multiple names, e.g. by separating multiple names via a semicolon.
