Using the Portal Server
ETV Portal Server User Guide 17
Customizing Stored Videos
Users ( with Content Publishing permission ) and administrators can customize or delete stored
videos; they can change the name, the folder, keywords, etc. All stored videos have an
Info
hyperlink button that displays additional information (if available) about the video. For
example it may have a description or keywords that can be used for searching, as well as links
to external web sites and desktop files. (You must have the appropriate application installed
locally; for example, you need PowerPoint to open a PowerPoint presentation.)
Control Buttons
The icons on the bottom of the Preview Window control the video. ( Note that the
controls here are different from those used for live broadcasts, for example, there is no
Record button.)
Mouseover each button to see the button title.

the corners or from any side.

area under the control panel displays any Global Message entered
by the administrator; it will also display additional information about the selected
video if it was customized by an administrator. The video title is shown above the

Note Note that some early NXG 7.0.1 servers do not support name or folder changes and
will return a validation error if you try to make changes.
