Dedicated countdown timer for the next scheduled commercial break / event

[ROBERTO BRASIL]

Hello everyone,

In traditional broadcast automation workflows, having a clear, dedicated countdown box showing the exact remaining time until the next scheduled event (such as a commercial break or top-of-the-hour time announcement) helps live hosts pace their talk breaks accurately.

Would it be possible to add an optional widget or status bar indicator specifically displaying a live countdown to the next high-priority scheduled event?

Thanks for the great work on version 7.2.5!

In the scheduled events list, you can sort them by Next Run or Run In columns, this way you'll see the events that are about to start. You can create a separate list for it (e.g., in an additional work zone) to have a dedicated scheduled events list showing what's about to start.

Thank you so much for the tip, Dmitry! Using a dedicated Scheduler tab in an additional work zone sorted by the "Run In" column works great for keeping track of upcoming breaks during live shows.
