- Private? – If you want this playlist’s contents to be invisible to other users, check this box. Private playlists will not even be displayed in the content window for users who do not own them; they will be invisible. However, users with Admin privileges can see all private playlists, even those they do not own.
- Categories – Select one or more content categories from the list.
- You can access the list of Playlist Items from the link here, or alternately from the playlist items icon
in the Actions column of the previous (Playlist listing) page.
Manage the Playlist
Media (videos) and Slides can be added, removed, and re-ordered from the Playlist Items page. Select what type you want to add from the media selection pull-down in the upper-left.
For Media, use the Search features to find thumbnails. Drag and drop the thumbnails or media names from the Search Results column on the left of the screen to the playlist area.
To change the order of items in the playlist, drag the item’s icon to the place where you want it or change its number in the box to the right of the icon. To delete an item from the playlist, click its trash icon. When you have finished, click the Save Changes button.
Important: Your playlist changes will only be saved if you click the Save Changes button after making changes.
Manage the Items
To the right of each Playlist Item listed are the Edit Item and Delete Item icons. 
Click on the Edit Item icon to see the duration, offset, and content detail for all items in the playlist.
You can change the duration of this image in this playlist by entering a new duration in hours, minutes, and seconds. When you have finished, click on Save, or click Cancel to return to the Playlist Items page.
Randomize a Playlist
A randomized playlist for continuity will play out in order the first time, then randomize all subsequent playouts.
To randomize a playlist, go to Config –> Channels –> Edit Channel. From the Continuity panel, choose a playlist. You will be shown the checkbox to randomize that playlist.
Schedule a Playlist
Playlists can be scheduled to play out just like any other event. See “Program Playlist Event” for instructions on how to schedule a playlist.
