Content Groups

Content and Source Groups provide a logical means by which you can manage your Media Items. The Manage Content Groups listed under Content Management provides a summary of your Content and Source Groups.

Source Groups are displayed separately from Content Groups.  To understand the difference between Source and Content Groups read the Core Concepts document. The Manage Content Groups screen presents the following information for each Content Group listed (depending on your user access privilege):

Name

The descriptive name you provided when you set-up the Content Group

Number of Member Media Items

The column marked with the icon indicates the number of Media Items contained within this group. This is not necessarily the number of Media Items that will be published by an Output Feed, however, as Output Feeds can be limited, and Media Items can exist that do not have RSS Details associated with them.

Number of Dependent Advert Promotions

The column marked with the icon indicates the number of Promotions that rely on the Content Group for advertisements.  Shown to Administrator users only.
