The Add Program function does not capture or import the content. Use the Record tab or your
installation’s encoding equipment to capture content. Use the Import feature on the Content tab to
import content onto the TelVue server.
Playlists
A playlist is a list of content that can be scheduled as continuity to play in a looping sequence rather
than playing just a single content file as continuity. Playlists cannot be scheduled as programming;
they can be used only for continuity.
Note: If you want to replicate a schedule of content to play at certain times, use the Export and
Import features on the Programming page.
Create Playlist
To create a playlist, click the Create Playlist button under the Playlists tab on the Content page. A
blank Playlist Metadata screen is displayed.
Fill in the playlist metadata fields as needed.

Visibility
Private? – If you want this playlist’s contents to be invisible to other users, check this box. Private
playlists will not even be displayed in the content window for users who do not own them; they will be
invisible. However, users with Admin privileges can see all private playlists, even those they do not
own.
