Now that we have some new tool to work with, let's enhance our WDTU application. This time, our goal is to implement functionality to allow the program manager to plan the playlist schedules for radio shows. The process, from the user's point of view, will essentially be as follows:
- Call up Playlist document page that displays header, details, and FactBox workspaces.
- Enter Playlist Header using the Radio Show table data.
- Enter Playlist Line using the resource table DJ data; the Radio Show table data for news, weather, or sports shows; and the Item table data for music, PSAs, and advertisements.
- The FactBox will display the required program-element fields from Radio Show/Playlist Header. These will include news (yes or no), weather (yes or no), sports (yes or no), and Number of required PSAs and advertisements.
- The FactBox will also track each of the five possible required elements.
