Creating and Configuring an On-Demand Project
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.
Creating an On-Demand Project
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.
Project Settings – General
Open the project and access Project Settings → General.
General Configuration
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Unpublished (recommended): content must be explicitly published.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.
Limiting Available Categories
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.
Metadata Configuration
Open Metadata Settings for the project.
8.1 Metadata Rules
Metadata rules define which fields are mandatory or visible.
Common mandatory or visible fields include:
Title
Description
Categories
Types
Tags
8.2 Additional Metadata Fields
Under Additional Metadata, custom fields can be added:
Input Field
Numeric Input
Selection
Multiple Selection
Checkbox
URL
Email
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.
Tag Management
The Tag Management view allows maintaining a list of reusable tags. Tags can later be assigned to media items for search and filtering purposes.
