Carousel Supreme Alert Page
We have a storm approaching and will pilot for the first time VPN into the server and activating the appropriate alert page (school canceled/delayed) I plan to autopilot Carousel on to the ages. My question is how to ensure that the only page that is seen is the School Cancellation Alert Page. Do I have to disable the schedule and up next alert pages? I don't really want to copy all of the carousel pages into saved if I don't have to. I really just want the one alert page to telecast during the morning hours.

Inappropriate?Jennifer,
I'm almost 99.99% sure about this, but as I am the only answer you'll probably get till morning, it will have to do until then :)
Your schedule and coming up next pages act as alert bulletins in the zone in which they run. If for your emergency snow cancellation etc.. bulletins run in the 'full screen alert' zone, those over ride everything else.
Note that the full screen alert are created in a separate tab than your regular zone bulletins.
So just make your snow bulletins in the full alert zone, and you should be all set.
Enjoy the weather.

Inappropriate?I've got the same winter storm coming this morning, and I've already put up all of my school canceled messages as full-screen alerts... My problem is I have video programming scheduled during this time, which will negate these Carousel messages as soon as the programs automatically play.
My request would be: to have a way to allow permissions to users to create an alert page that either:
1) Overrides the current cablecast automation for the period of time that the alert page is scheduled to run; or
2) Creates a DSK crawl with the same text as the alert page, which can then run over the video programming when it switches over
Perhaps both of the above are possible, switchable as a preference by the channel administrator?
