Custom Fields
Custom fields are used to add additional fields to the Info pages associated with stored
videos and live broadcast streams. All stored videos, and those live streams that have been
"customized," have an Info icon. By default, the Info page has fields for Description and
Keywords. The Custom Fields funtionality lets you add additional "custom" fields that are
appropriate to your business or application. This lets you provide more information on the
page and it also makes it easier to search for specific streams. (All defined fields are listed in
the dropdown list box next to the Search button.) When you add a custom field using this
function, the field is available to administrators as a selection in the Customize Streams
window. It is also available to end users as the Modify Info button on the Info pages
associated with stored videos (if they have content publishing permissions).
TTo create a Custom Field:
1. Go to Global Settings > Custom Fields.
2. Enter a Field Name and a Field Type. If you select Dropdown, you can add items one at a
time followed by Add Item. These items will populate a dropdown list box on the
Customize Streams page.
Assign Presentations The Presenter is a VBrick multimedia presentation
application that can be launched from the Portal Server. This
field defines the directory where presentations are stored. If
this folder is present and contains a valid index.asp file, View
Presentations will be shown as a option on the Portal
Server Home page and will launch the Presenter in a
separate window.
