Next, associate the menu document with a variable name. This configuration is done in the Properties section of the
XML Tree tab of the template (FIG.44).
Whenever the content of this variable is changed by a network or serial port command, the menu will switch to display
the media with a matching ID. By default, the first content of the list is displayed.
Using the Properties tab, you can select the default transition when switching content. You can also select the duration of
the transition, and the duration of the pause between two items, if needed. (For more information, please refer to the How
to Customize a Playlist SVG Document on page 16.)
To decide whether to play the new content indefinitely or only for a predetermined time, you can adjust the media
duration using the media property dialog. If the media has a finite duration, it will switch to another of the media files if
you have entered a media ID in the next page column. This lets you trigger a small playlist if needed (FIG.45). If you
leave the next page field blank, the action taken depends on the Next page by default option. You can chose to switch
back to the first page (the default), to go to the next page or to play the same content again.
