Deleting Materials and Playlists (Automatic Deletion Function and Manual Deletion)

The video, graphics, and text materials, and playlists sent to the network players are automatically deleted on the specified date so that the network players will not be overfilled. And a piece of material or playlist will be replaced if a new piece assigned the same code is sent.

Automatic Deletion Function

The following settings are necessary to use the automatic deletion function of the network player.

•On the "System Administrator Setup" screen of the network player, specify "Yes" for "Activate 'Automatic Delete'."

•Specify the automatic deletion date for each piece of material and playlist.

Specify the date for automatic deletion of video, graphics, and text materials and of the playlists (in the case of the Presentation Application) manually. Right-click the desired material or playlist in the Material Management window, click [Set Delete Date], then select the date on the calendar displayed and click [OK].

To deactivate the automatic deletion function, right-click the material or playlist in the same way, then click [Clear Delete Date].

In the case of the Scheduling Application, the day after the playout end date is automatically specified as the automatic deletion date of the playlist. You cannot change it.

At 0:00am, the network players that have automatic deletion enabled start searching for playlists and materials whose automatic deletion date is that day, and delete them.

Manual Deletion

The system also allows you to manually delete materials and playlists. Proceed as follows to delete materials that are not assigned any date for automatic deletion.
