Media Item settings

All items in the media library, both folders and content, are considered media items.

By viewing a media item in the media library you can see many of its properties and also control some settings.

The table below describes the details of media items. Which tabs you see depends on the type of item and on your user profile. Folders have their own settings, see Folder settings.

Tab	Setting	Description
Edit media	Content settings	Only for webpages, smart media and HTML widgets. Holds the settings of that type of content, for example the webpage settings or the content fields of a smart media item. HTML widgets also have an Edit widget source tab, which is not available with the default Publisher profile.
Info	Name	The name of the media item. It can't be changed for items synchronized from OneDrive or Google Drive.
	Url	Only for webpages and video streams. The address of the content. It must start with https:// or http://.
	Description	An optional description of the media item
	Tags	Tags for the media item
	Properties	See the properties of the media item such as format, resolution, create/modify date and if media is present in a booking.
Statistics	Statistics	Here you will find statistics for an individual item. You can also export statistics if needed. The tab is only shown if your user profile allows statistics. The default Publisher profile does not.
	Collect statistics	Enable to collect statistics for this media item. This adds the tag statistic to the item. Statistics are only collected on screens where the setting Enable statistics is turned on, which it is not by default.

	Exclude on screens with one or more of following tags	Sometimes there’s a need to exclude media from certain screens. By adding tags here you will exclude this media item from any screen that has the same tags as well.
Default settings	Multiple, dependent on media type	These settings control the default values used when the item is published to screen. Duration and Full screen apply to most media. Mute applies to videos and video streams, Render as video to PowerPoint files, Restart animation on replay to HTML widgets, and Use snapshot, which shows the item as a static image, to smart media. If other settings are input in a booking, those settings will override for that particular booking.
Slides	Slide duration	Only for documents with several pages, such as PowerPoint, Word, Excel and PDF files. Set how long each page is shown. These items have no Duration under Default settings.
Advanced	Allow anonymous access	Enabling this will create a fixed public web-link to the media item, a "permalink". With the link you can access it anonymously, no authentication required. Not available for webpages and video streams. When it is enabled and saved, the link is shown under Permalink.
	Other information	Shows the identifier of the item, the conversions of a video, and the media, channels and theme that the item uses.

Folder settings

Folders have their own details, with the tabs Info, Users & Groups, Default settings and Advanced. The access settings on Users & Groups are described in Folder permissions. With the default Publisher profile you can't open folder details.

Default settings control how the folder is played when it is booked:

• Full screen works as for media items.
• Shuffle plays the items in the folder in random order.
• Include subfolders also plays the items in the folder's direct subfolders.
• Take limits how many items are played. Leave it at Unlimited to play all items.
• Alternate media in folder is only available when Auto duration is turned on.

The Advanced tab is only shown to users with Site Access. It shows how much storage the folder uses, and you can set Folder storage capacity (Bytes).
