User interface
The user interface follows a clear and consistent layout designed to provide quick access to all core functions.
Left Navigation (Main Menu)
The vertical navigation bar on the left side of the interface provides access to the main functional areas of the platform. Depending on the user role and permissions, the following sections may be available:
Projects - Central area for managing on-demand and livestream projects
Players - Configuration and management of media players
Playlists - Creation and administration of playlists
Podcasts - Management of audio and video podcasts
People - Manage persons for video / media metadata
Analytics - Analysis and evaluation of engagement and usage data
Modules - Optional platform extensions and features
Account - Account-related settings and configuration
A link to the Classic UI is available at the bottom of the navigation to access legacy features that are not yet part of the new interface.
Top Bar (Global Actions)
The top bar spans the full width of the interface and contains global functions:
Global Search – Allows searching across all accessible content, including projects and assets
This area remains consistent across all sections of the platform.
Project Overview Area
The central content area displays the active view. In the Projects section, projects are presented as tiles in a grid layout. Each tile includes:
Project preview image
Project name
Content type indicator (for example, On-Demand or Livestream)
Additional labels such as group assignments
Above the grid, users can switch between different project views (All Projects, On-Demand, Livestream, Favorites), apply filters, group projects, or search within the current context.
Selecting a project opens a detailed view or overlay with associated assets and metadata, such as on-demand files, creation dates, and playout configuration.
Right-Side Panels and Menus
The platform provides contextual panels and menus on the right side:
Support Panel – Offers direct access to platform status information, support tickets, API documentation, player documentation, and platform documentation
User Account Menu – Accessible via the user avatar in the top-right corner, providing access to personal settings, password and security options, support, and logout
These panels open as overlays and do not interrupt the current workflow.
Global search
The Global Search is available in the top navigation bar and allows users to search across different areas of the platform.
It can be used to quickly find content, projects, playlists, categories, MediaRSS exports, and other available resources without navigating manually through each section.
When entering a search term, the platform displays matching results in a structured search panel. Results are grouped by content area, such as:
On-Demand Files
Events
Projects
Playlists
Categories
MediaRSS Exporter
Groups
Users can switch between the result tabs to narrow the search to a specific section.
Each search result can include relevant information such as:
Title
Number of items
Type or content label
ID
Creation date
Last updated date
Playout ID, where available
Quick actions, depending on the result type
The Global Search is useful for quickly locating items across the account, especially in accounts with many projects, files, playlists, or metadata entries.
Using Global Search
To use the Global Search:
Click the search field in the top navigation bar.
Enter a search term.
Review the results in the search panel.
Select the relevant result tab, if needed.
Open the desired item or use the available quick actions.
Typical Use Cases
Global Search can be used for workflows such as:
Finding a specific video or audio file
Opening a project directly
Searching for a playlist
Locating categories or metadata structures
Finding a MediaRSS export
Accessing related items without changing the current page manually
Notes
The displayed search results depend on the user’s permissions. Users only see items they are allowed to access.
The available result tabs and quick actions may depend on account configuration, enabled modules, and the type of search result.
