Can you suspend events for a specific time period?

[box26609]

Hello I would like to know if it is possible to temporarily suspend (disable) events at a preselected time/date and restore it (enable) them automatically at future time/date.

For example Christmas is coming up and I may want to begin running Christmas playlists from now until January 1st then I would want to go back to the regular playlists being scheduled. Is there a way to programme this without manually enabling and disabling the relevant scheduled events?

If so, kindly let me know how. And if not, kindly consider incorporating this feature. I have seen this in other types of radio schedulers.

Thank you.

There are enableevent/disableevent scheduler commands to enable/disable specific events. Probably you will find the enablegroup/disablegroup commands more useful to enable/disable a group of events (e.g. all Christmas events at once).

I was thinking something more along the lines of what I've modified in this picture below, if you may kindly take a look. I added a box for 'Suspend Event' and a drop down menu for choosing the duration of that suspension.

The idea would be that I'd still be able to keep the event "enabled", however I can choose to suspend it for a specified period of time (eg 1 hour, 3 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or a calendar date of one's choosing) - without the need to create a new set of scheduler commands to enable/disable each specific event since it would all be done in the same event window. Once the suspension period relapses then the suspension disengages automatically and the enabled event resumes it's function.

I think many radio programmers would find this useful, if it is possible.
