Automatic Flags for Presentation Media Item File Uploads

Administrators can use the Activity details flags under Media control & automation to indicate how, by default, newly uploaded presentation media item flags will trickle down to each assigned presentation.

Administrators can use the Activity details flags under Media control & automation to indicate how, by default, newly uploaded presentation media item flags will trickle down to each assigned presentation.

Please note only newly uploaded presentations will receive the updated flag after it has been set in Activity details, meaning this needs to be done prior to uploads starting. For example, if I want PDF files to be flagged as “Use in session room,” only after I check the flag below will the newly uploaded PDFs have the flag automatically set.

The media items an administrator creates in Settings > Media Components > Media items will appear as the rows in the card’s table.

Check the flags to set the following:
Name of media type: Name as entered in the Media Items settings page.
Use as the initial media player: This is the primary video for the Activity’s presentation. If multiple media items are flagged, the last media item uploaded will be the primary video.
Use as additional file: A flag in this column indicates that the file is supplementary (e.g., PDF handout or white paper, URL, video, etc.)
Use in session room: Select to indicate that the file should be synchronized to the on-site presentation management system and used on the speaker podium in the session room.
Use for thumbnail: Select to indicate that this media item will be the first file that appears in the player screen for the session or presentation. If multiple flags are selected, the last media item uploaded will be the default thumbnail. This thumbnail can be overridden at the Session type details, Session details, and Presentation details levels. In most cases, the thumbnail will be the same item as the initial player media.
Actions: Click ‘Select all’ to choose all the flags or ‘Deselect all’ to remove all the flags.

Deleting a primary media item automatically deletes the Thumbnail URL

When a user uploads a primary media item, whether through the Portal, Speaker Ready Room, or cAdmin, and the auto-promotion rules auto-update the Thumbnail URL, the opposite effect occurs when deleted.

When a user uploads a primary media item, whether through the Portal, Speaker Ready Room, or cAdmin, and the auto-promotion rules auto-update the Thumbnail URL, the opposite effect occurs when deleted.

For example, when a presenter deletes a presentation from the Speaker Ready Room, the Thumbnail URL used on the cAttendee website will automatically be deleted along with the primary media item ID. No auto-delete rules need to be set up.

When the presenter uploads another primary media item, if auto-promotion Thumbnail URL rules have been set up, the Thumbnail URL will be restored to the newly uploaded primary media item. Thumbnail URL auto-promotion rules can be set up in Settings > Activities > Activity details, and Settings > Sessions > Session type details.

Session Organizer

Administrators can view and edit a presentation to roles other than the presenter. Like a presenter, permitted roles can access the presentation through the Portal to check for quality control. Another level of edit permission enables them to make changes to the presentation as well.

Another level of edit permission enables them to make changes to the presentation as well.  This functionality has been commonly requested by on-site presentation management customers and is beginning to be requested by customers organizing hybrid and virtual meetings as a tactic to reduce the cost of external A/V labor.

Use for thumbnail

Select a flag to choose the media item default thumbnail for cAttendee. If multiple flags are selected, the last media item uploaded will be the default thumbnail. This thumbnail can be overridden at the Session type details, Session details, and Presentation details levels. In many cases, the thumbnail flag will be selected with the initial media player flag
