Working with Rules

For imported (and subsequently updated) playlists, you can create sets of rules that govern how pages can be automatically inserted into certain events within a playlist. Rules are applied when working with schedules or updating playlists from an external source. Any number of conditions can be applied to defined rules for exact filtering.

When rules are defined and marked as active the following actions will automatically be applied upon receiving or updating playlists:

  • When schedules are received (or changed):

    • For each event in the schedule the rules engine will try to match each rule against the current event read.

    • If the rule matches then apply the action/page specified in the rule, otherwise do nothing and insert the event to the playlist unchanged.

  • Repeat this until all events are read and processed.
