Instruction Manual
Now that you are in a folder, click on a video/audio file to select it. The selected media is shown with a light blue border. If the media
has metadata, then the information in the first metadata section is shown. Typically this is the video synopsis (FIG. 91). To select
multiple media files, use CTRL-click. To select a range of media, use the SHIFT key. The only option available on multiple media files
is delete.
The following operations are available in the options drop down menu when you select a video:
Rename Media - Rename the media file.
Create Shortcut - Create shortcut to media file, this acts like a copy of the media. Then cut and paste a shortcut to another
location.
Publish/Hide - change whether media is published/hidden. Published media is viewable by Tablet and set-top box users. If
user access control is enabled for this archive then Published media is viewable by Set-top box, tablet, or PC users with
view permission to this folder.
NOTE: If access control is enabled for a particular archive, then PC Users without Publish permission cannot see Hidden media. See
Archive Permissions on page 23 for more details.
Cut/Paste - Cut a video and then paste it to another location. Only one video at a time can be cut/pasted.
Delete - Delete selected media files to the trashcan. If in the trashcan, there is a delete option which deletes the media
