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.
