2. Use the check boxes to select the events you want to export.
3. Select an export format from the drop-down list. Possible export formats include:
•
Native – TelVue’s format that covers all event types on single-channel and multi-channel
systems and can be used for internal manipulations. Native can carry metadata associated
with the content, and you can edit the CSV file to change the metadata before
importing. Native format is recommended for batch copying, batch exports, and backups.
•
Annenberg – specific format requested by Annenberg Media. It supports only Channel 1 and
uses the format filename, start time. It does not use a header row.
4. Click the Export button. The application exports the events to your file system in the
selected format. For example, if you exported files using the Native format, the export file
might be named export_native.csv.
Combining exporting with importing also provides a simple way to copy large scheduling blocks.
Native CSV Formatting
The Native CSV format can be used to import a schedule via the programming tab or by way of the
import/native hot folder on the server. It may also be exported from the server via the programming
tab, modified, and re-imported.
