This could be anything from a feature film to a series or a short film. A few <strong>essential concepts<\/strong> apply to Products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Product is first and foremost a <strong>metadata entry<\/strong>. As such, it does not (yet) have ties to any specific Asset such as an image or screener when it is first created.<\/li>\n<li>Each Product may have <strong>one or several metadata Layers<\/strong>. This way, you can manage multiple sets of metadata, e.g. in different languages or prepackaged for different VOD vendors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assets can be assigned to Products<\/strong> to provide images, screeners and downloadable assets on the Product.<\/li>\n<li>Products can be <strong>hierarchically associated<\/strong> in order to e.g. create a series-season-episode dependency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In detail, these five <strong>different Product types<\/strong> are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Programs<\/strong> are single, autonomous product entries such as films or shorts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Formats<\/strong> are the highest level of hierarchical product entries: a Format entry may reference content comprising several series, seasons and\/or episodes, or may stand on its own to represent a format for which no finished tape is available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Series<\/strong> are titles comprising multiple episodes, which may also be grouped into multiple seasons. A Series can belong to a Format, or stand on its own.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasons<\/strong> are used to assemble groups of episodes, most commonly by production cycle. A Season always belongs to a Series; it cannot stand on its own.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Episodes<\/strong> are, as the name suggests, individual episodes in e.g. a series. An Episode can belong to a Series or Season; it cannot stand on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the <em>Products<\/em> section, <strong>the following actions are available<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=4299\">Add and manage<\/a> Products<em>.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=2912\">Navigate<\/a> through Products by using search and filters.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/?p=4288\">Recommend<\/a> Products to send preview\/screening links via email.<\/li>\n<li>The separate <a href=\"\/?p=2994\"><em>Settings<\/em><\/a> section allows you to manage Awards (prizes a Product may have won) and Genres (a custom genre tree).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Product, in MediaStore terms, is a metadata entry representing  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[416,414],"tags":[441,388,440,439,339,55,438,437],"class_list":["post-2959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-v2-product-management","category-v2-user-guide","tag-actions","tag-awards","tag-events","tag-filters","tag-genres","tag-introduction","tag-product-management","tag-settings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2959"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4304,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2959\/revisions\/4304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mediastore.support\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
