7.5 Channel Ad Hoc

Using ad hoc content within a channel enables you to allow users to show their own content on their local iCOMPEL while
still showing the rest of the channel.
Create ad hoc content in the same way as you would a normal part of a layout. Local ad hoc users can then log into their
subscriber iCOMPEL and change that content.
Ad hoc from center is similar to regular ad hoc in that it allows a user to log in to change an element of the signage display
quickly and easily. However, instead of the user making ad hoc changes on the subscriber iCOMPEL, with ad hoc from
center the user can make changes on the publisher iCOMPEL. Consequently, the subscribers to that publisher upload the
ad hoc from center changes to the channel. When configuring those subscribers, you might want to set their polling interval
to a shorter period so that ad hoc from center updates arrive more quickly.
