Quick FAQ

Media ownership

The Owner column (available to the system administrator only) contains the name of the user who currently owns the media item. The administrator can change ownership of audio items, assigning them to another user, or sharing them among all other Broadcast Server users. Sharing media items is a way to conserve disk space usage on Broadcast Server and to standardize on a set of media across the organization.

Media linkage

Media items are linked to alerts instead of being embedded in them. This means that you can create multiple alerts that link to a single image, change that one image in the media library, and all the alerts are automatically updated.

Changes to media items are immediately reflected throughout the system in all alerts as soon as the media item is changed.
