One interesting note about this field: it is not based on history. If you maintain a small history (by limiting the day range Powergold uses in Schedule Settings), the Total Plays number will be unaffected by this. This is normally good behavior but there may be situations where you would prefer that number to follow what is actually in history.
Please contact Powergold support if this is the case for your station. We have a very quick utility that will align the Total Plays number with what is currently in history and we would be happy to help you.
