- How the Channel Manager fits togetherFive screens, two of which look like they do the same thing and do not. What each one is responsible for, which one you will actually spend your time on, and the difference between holding rooms back and shutting dates off.
- Managing a connected channelThe connected channel list, the four tabs behind each row, the capability table that tells you what a channel will and will not accept, and how to take a channel off sale without losing its setup.
