Enhancing the WDTU application
Now that we have some more tools with which to work, 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 be essentially as follows:
Call up the Playlist document page which displays Header, Details and a FactBox data entry workspaces.
Enter Playlist Header, drawing on the Radio Show for data.
Enter Playlist Lines, drawing on the Resource table for DJ data, the Radio Show table for News or Weather or Sports shows, and on the Item table 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), Number of required PSAs, and Advertisements.
The FactBox will also track each of the five possible required elements.
