Program Titles are used primarily to communicate, via the log, program elements to an operator of DCS, Maestro or XStudio. Usage of Program Titles is most common for live-assist hours of the broadcast day.
When you have completed editing and press the [OK] button, your entries are validated and, if incorrect or missing, you get a warning message and the cursor is placed in the field that needs to be corrected.
