5.4 Ad Hoc from Center
The Update from Center feature allows ad hoc users to make changes on a iCC that will be updated to the channel's
subscribers. The ad hoc users on the iCC 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 player.
l
Remote – Ad hoc items will only be visible to ad hoc users on the iCC. Changing the ad hoc item on the iCC causes
l
updates to all subscribers too. To restore the original schedule, select Default Schedule from the Ad hoc page.
Subscriber 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 Channels > Manage Subscription 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 player checks for normal updates
and for updates from center independently.
