STEP 6 : Set the End Date by checking the End box then selecting the Date

If you want to set specific times, uncheck the All Day box.




STEP 7: Now that you have the Start/End date set, Click Save

STEP 8: Once you are done setting the schedule(s), click Next




Step 9: select which playlists to send this scheduled slipstream job to.
