To begin

Require all Team members to register and allocate each to one of the roles created by Weekly Radio Schedule – DJ, DJ Operator, Operator or Manager (Dashboard -> Users). For fresh installations, consider inserting demo team data (Dashboard -> Settings -> Tz Weekly Radio Schedule). These dummy user accounts and slot allocations can be removed later and the schedule, easily updated with real Team member slots.

Consider assigning the WRS Main Menu to the main menu location.

Allocating time slots completes setup. See?Managing the Schedule for steps on how this is done.
