Add Feed Content to a Playlist

Feeds show content previously posted to your accounts (managed feeds), or posted by other people and retrieved by a search (Search-Based feeds). Authors of retrieved content can be Inception users in your organization or users from anywhere in the world.

You can drag content from feed viewers into playlists. Playlists enable you to make your gathered content available to external systems such as character generators. Before external systems can ingest your gathered content, you must do the following with the content:

•Approve the content for broadcast.

•Add the content to a playlist.

•Take the playlist online.

To drag feed items into a playlist

1.In the feed viewer, locate the item you want to add to a playlist.

2.In Inception, open the playlist to which you want to add the item.

3.From the feed viewer, drag the avatar picture for the item into the playlist.

As you drag the item over the playlist, a blue line indicates the current drop position of the selected avatar.

4.When the blue line in the playlist is where you want to position the item, release the item.

Inception adds the selected item to the playlist at the selected position.
