Creating & Managing playlists

From within a project the Playlist Manager is always accesible from the Project Actions Menu. The Playlist Manager will list all Playlists by default, but which playlists are displayed can be customized using the List View filter functionality.

Creating a Playlist

Click on the Create a playlist button at the bottom of the view to start a new playlist.

The drawer will switch from the List View to a form where you’ll name your playlist, provide an optional description, and add media.

Adding Media

Media is added by dragging and dropping it to the designated area in the form from anywhere in the application. This could be on the Media page, the Media card of the Overview page, the Media tab of a detail page, or the back of a card.

Starting a review

Start a review of a new playlist by clicking on the Save & Play button at the bottom of the Edit Playlist form, or by clicking on the large Play icon in the playlist’s entry in the Playlist Manager list.

Adding members to a review

Once you’ve started a review, you can click the Share link button and a link to your live review session will be copied to your clipboard. You can share this with team members to navigate directly to your review.

Team members can also join a review from the playlist manager in the same way as starting a review.
