Edit Track Set Separation Playout Policy

Edit Track Set Separation Playout Policy
 
Track Set Separation Playout Policies ensure that any track in the same set (track group, tag, or filter) is not played again for a specified period of time. This policy is useful for ensuring variety within specific categories of content, such as ensuring "Local Artists" tagged tracks are separated by at least 1 hour, or that "Classic Rock" filtered tracks maintain proper spacing throughout your programming.
