Learn how to manually add temporary items like contests or liners to your scheduling clock for specific dates and times.
1. Navigate to the Scheduling Page
-
Go to Programming > Scheduling > Scheduling in your dashboard.
2. Set Your Flight Dates
- Insert the start and end dates for when you'd like the temporary item(s) to appear.
3. Choose Your Scheduling Criteria
-
Under "Schedule These Items," select the item types you'd like to schedule (e.g., contests, liners, promos).

This method works best using the "Let Me Do It (Manual)" scheduling method, but it is compatible with other scheduling options as well.
-
Click Submit to continue.
When PromoSuite Next is done processing your request you will be taken to a page that says "no items were found" (if this is your first contest scheduled for the date range). If previously scheduled contests exist they will appear on this page instead.
