The Break element in H2R Graphics is used to bring scheduled information into your production.

Adding a Google Sheet

The break element uses a Google Sheet to store all of the data. Pasting the ID of the Google Sheet into H2R Graphics and pressing Refresh will pull in the most recent data.

Feel free to make a copy of this sheet as a template.

Formatting in the Google Sheet is very important. Follow the template very closely.

Rundown pulled from a Google Sheet

Once refreshed, the Google Sheet data will be pulled in and is available within H2R Graphics.

The eye icon next to each element will allow you to show that on your output.

Autoplay can be used to automatically advance through the break elements.
