 ===== Using the Built-In Scheduler =====
+mAirListDB has a very simple advertising scheduler built in that can be used to schedule spots based on campaigns and hour/blocks selected by the users.
+To use a spot with the internal scheduler, edit its properties in the DB library, go the //Scheduling// tab, and to the //Advertising// sub-tab:
+{{ :tutorials:mairlistdb:pasted:20170201-122516.png?400 }}
+First, you must add a new **campaign**. A campaign is a period of time in which the spot is going to be broadcasted. It can have a start and/or end date, or start instantly and run indefinitely. You can set up multiple campaigns at the same time, and also disable running campaigns temporarily. Spots can be filtered by campaign in the DB Library tree.
+You can devide about the **placement** of the spot within the block: anywhere, towards the beginning or towards the end. This can be fine-tuned by setting the **priority** value accordingly. You can also specify another spot that is used as the **reminder**, i.e. that is added at the end of the ad block whenever the current spot is being used.
+If you are using multiple **stations** and/or **regions**, select them as required.
+In the **Hour/Block Selection** grid, check the days/hours/blocks where the spot should be used. You must do so manually (this is where mAirList is different from a full-featured advertising scheduler), but it is possible to save/restore often used assignments using the right click menu.
+Hint: Click a column header to toggle all blocks for the entire day; click a row header to toggle all days  for that block; shift+click a row header to toggle the same block for all hours of the day.
