Introduction

The Announcement Play Request report measures the number of announcement plays for each announcement on a per board basis over a selected time period.

Uses

This report can be used to:

  • View over an extended time period individual announcement activity
  • Identify potentially redundant announcements
  • Use in concert with Announcement Port Usage report to redistribute announcement load
  • Validate Audio Group configuration is working as expected

Example 1

The report below shows the top 20 announcements play request for an announcement board.

Press the export CSV button () to download all announcement play requests for this board. Note that the top four announcements are responsible for the majority of the load.

Example 2

Uneven loading of announcement play requests for announcement boards in the same port network shows that audio groups are not administered properly, representing a single point of failure.

Note that the top four announcements on 01B08 have a load of almost 6000 plays, whilst the top four on 01D06 only have a little over 1,000 plays.
