This chapter describes how to create and configure an On-Demand (Video on Demand) project in the 3Q Platform. An On-Demand project is used to upload, encode, manage, and publish video content that can be accessed at any time by end users.

Open Projects from the main navigation.
Select the On-Demand tab.
Click Create Project, or select an existing On-Demand project to edit its configuration.
Once a project is created, all settings are managed through the Project Settings panel.
Open the project and access Project Settings → General.
Title Defines the project name as shown in the platform.
Group Assigns the project to a project group (for example, Default).
Project Image (optional) A visual identifier used in the project overview.
Default Metadata Language Sets the default language for metadata fields.
Default Publication Status Defines the initial publication state of uploaded media:
Unpublished (recommended): content must be explicitly published.
Published: content becomes publicly available immediately after upload.
Navigate to Project Settings → Advanced Settings.
Limit Categories Allows restricting which categories are available within this project. This is useful when a project should only support a predefined subset of categories.
Categories are fully configurable and project-specific.
Open Metadata Settings for the project.
Metadata rules define which fields are mandatory or visible.
Common mandatory or visible fields include:
Title
Description
Categories
Types
Tags
Under Additional Metadata, custom fields can be added:
Input Field
Numeric Input
Selection
Multiple Selection
Checkbox
URL
Typical use cases:
Editorial flags
Rights information
Source identifiers
Platform-specific control flags
Both Categories and Types are fully configurable and can be defined according to editorial or organizational requirements.
The Tag Management view allows maintaining a list of reusable tags. Tags can later be assigned to media items for search and filtering purposes.
