5.4 Ad Hoc from Center

The Update from Center feature allows ad hoc users to make changes on a publisher iCOMPEL that will be updated to
the channel's subscribers. The ad hoc users on the publisher iCOMPEL can only change the content on the ad hoc page
you create.
You can use the Update from Center feature with ad hoc text and schedule override items. When you create an ad hoc
from center item, you set its scope as one of:
Local – Default. Ad hoc text items behave as normal. Ad hoc users can log in and change the contents for each
iCOMPEL.
Remote – Ad hoc items will only be visible to ad hoc users on the publisher iCOMPEL. Changing the ad hoc item on the
publisher causes updates to all subscribers too. To restore the original schedule on the publisher, select Default
Schedule from the Ad hoc page.
Subscriber iCOMPEL players may not normally check for updates often enough if the ad hoc from center changes are
frequent. Therefore, you can configure the subscriber players to check for update from center items more frequently. On the
subscriber the Channel Management page offers the Update From Center Poll Interval option. This determines how
often the subscriber polls for update from center items and changes accordingly. The subscriber iCOMPEL checks for
normal publisher updates and for updates from center independently.
