A playlist contains Inception created content items, content items gathered from feeds, or both. Taking a playlist online makes all approved items in the playlist available to external systems such as character generators. For example, if your organization has a Facebook account about the sport of baseball, you can view the account feed in Feed Viewer and drag selected Facebook posts such as viewer comments into a playlist. You can then take the playlist online to make it available to a character generator. The character generator imports the posts and add them to an on-screen text crawl during baseball broadcasts.
Before an external systems can access the content items in a playlist, you must approve the content items in the playlists, and then you need to take the playlist online.
