Editing External Content IDs

If your billing system requires something other than the Content Delivery Server content ID to identify the content, you can edit the external content IDs for multiple items from the list of stocked content.

To edit a single item, you can edit the properties for that item. See “Editing Stocked Content” on page 159.

To edit multiple items, follow these steps:

1.From the Vending Manager administration console, click Content on the main menu bar.

2.Click the Stocked Content tab if it is not the active tab.

3.Navigate to the items that you want to edit. To view all content, click View By Title.
