In order to accomplish this, we may need to perform some steps before the given configuration.

First thing first, we need to create a proper Group Types in order to include in there all the TYPES which are basically not commercials.

In order to do so we need to go in:

Etere Configuration > Settings > Types Editor > Groups

Create a brand new Group named PROGRAMS > PROG by pressing the New button and then:

1. set a proper CODE, in this case PROG;
2. set a proper Description, PROGRAMS in this case;
3. assign an Icon(optional);
4. assign a given Color (optional);
5. assign the Group Proprierties. Keep in mind that giving the following logic, it should be anything except COMMERCIALS.

types_group

After that, we can start assigning TYPES to the previously created Group, just by recalling any type in:

Etere Configuration > Settings > Types Editor > Types

and then select the PROG group from the General Tab.

So based on the given configuration, everything which is not a PROG type determine the start and stop of the Commercial Block.

After that we can deceide to insert them as follows:

1. by relying on Etere Executive Editor function "Apply Secondary Events as Default"

   apply_as_default_ee

2. insert them at any Etere Executive Editor publication.

   In order to do so, we may need to set an additional parameter which is found in:

   Etere Configuration > Settings > Scheduled Parameters > Secondary Events as Default

   and is called "Insert Secondary Events in any EE pubblication"

   insert_any_ee

After that, each time the operator perform the Publish procedure, the given secondary events are placed into the Etere Executive Editor Playlist, distinguish from Commercial Breaks and normal programs.
