Content Search
The Search window lets you narrow the list of content thumbnails displayed. Enter a keyword and
press Search. Any content that matches the criteria is displayed under Search Results.
To search on specific criteria such as category, duration, or how many times an event has played, click
on Edit Advanced Search to open the advanced search window. Fill in one or more criteria.
•
Media Type – Choose from videos, still images (analog servers), or both.
•
Category – Choose one content category or use all of them. The more disciplined your
installation is about categorizing content when adding it to the database, the more useful the
Category search criterion will be.
•
Source – Choose from uploaded content, captured content, manually entered content, or any
source.
•
Added – Select a time period when the content was added, 7 days ago to 5 minutes ago.
•
Last Played – Select a time period when the content was last played on the server, from 7
days ago to 5 minutes ago, or anytime. This can help you avoid content that has been played
recently, or find content you want to run frequently.
•
Play Count – Select a range corresponding to how many times the content has been played
on the server. This can help you schedule content that a sponsor expects your installation to
play a certain number of times, or avoid content that you have played often.
•
Min Duration – Enter the minimum duration of the content you want to schedule using the
format HH:MM:SS. This can help you tailor your choices to the size of the scheduling gap you
want to fill.
•
Max Duration – Enter the maximum duration of the content you want to schedule using the
format HH:MM:SS. This helps limit the content displayed to files that are small enough to fit
your scheduling gap.
Click the Search button at the bottom of the window. The search results are displayed in the Media
tab.
For example, suppose you have a schedule with a 15-minute gap to fill.
Click Edit Advanced Search to see the selection criteria.
