Station Posting Log
A station's posting log is a history of text items that have been posted for the station. No history is kept for RDS items. As a default, the table is sorted in newest to oldest order.

To make reviewing information easier, you may wish to re-size or maximize the PostMajik Client display in order to see more data at once. |
Station post log history is kept for 30 days as a default. The number of days of history that is retained is controlled by the system-wide Keep History setting, which can be modified to suit your needs.
