Glossary

Timesaver	Go to terms that start with... [ I R ].
I

Insertions
	Cisco Digital Signs includes methods to identify and assemble an affinity group from any combination
	of presentations, playlists, and assets. We call this affinity group package an insertion.
	Mingled elements within an insertion all share one clear and unifying purpose. For example, the
	elements of your first insertion might all advertise a community celebration, even though they use
	various languages or differ in other, key ways. However, you recognize for your own purposes that at
	least one significant factor (the community celebration, in this example) unites them as an affinity group.
	The benefit of insertions is that you can audit and verify the scope of playback — individually and
	collectively — for all elements that support one goal, initiative, policy, campaign, or event. On a
	DMP-by-DMP basis, you can discover and demonstrate exactly which assets:
	• Played successfully, and when.
	• Were interrupted or prevented from playing, and when.
Note	• Proof of play features in Cisco Digital Signs ignore the playback of assets that Cisco developed — including all
	samples and templates that you receive with DMM.
	• Syslog data provides the start and stop times for playback.
