Groups: introduction<\/h3>\n

By using Groups, you can compile Products and Assets<\/strong> for specific purposes, such as package offers or deliveries.<\/p>\n

In this context, you can also use Groups to grant Users privileged access to a Product or Asset<\/strong> they normally would not be able to access.<\/p>\n

<\/i>For example, let’s say there is an exclusive new full-length screener which you’d like to make available to certain key buyers only. After uploading the screener as a Private<\/em> or Company<\/em> asset, you can create a Group including all your key buyers’ User accounts, and then add the screener to the Group with a higher Group-specific access level of Viewable<\/em>. In consequence, the screener will still be unavailable to buyers in general while the key buyer Group will be able to screen it.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, you can use the Group Recommendation<\/strong><\/a> function to send someone a preview or download link for all Products and Assets in a Group, the former option also comprising any streaming videos you’d like to include.<\/p>\n

Finally, Groups also serve other purposes such as defining titles for slideshows in your client site<\/strong><\/a> or selections of content for sync with our iPad application<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Primary group types<\/h3>\n

Navigate to Groups<\/em> in order to find the Group types available on your platform. Depending on your platform and user account, you will find some or all of the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • General<\/strong>: General-purpose groups to be used for most of your purposes, including providing privileged access to certain items for certain clients.<\/li>\n
  • Contacts<\/strong>: Contact lists that may be useful e.g. to address Recommendations to an entire set of users in one go. Only permits Users – no other objects can be added.<\/li>\n
  • Recommendations<\/strong>: These groups are automatically compiled whenever you send a Recommendation and define the associated access rights. These do not<\/em> usually need to be reviewed or edited manually.<\/li>\n
  • Mobile App Sync<\/strong>: Lets you compile content for sync with the iPad application. Will only appear if your user account is enabled for app use.<\/li>\n
  • Special Purpose<\/strong>: These groups relate to content management and typically define products shown in slideshows in your client site or contacts shown on your contact page. Individual group titles should self-evidently indicate their purpose.<\/li>\n
  • Additional group types may be shown but will not necessarily be relevant to your implementation of the MediaStore platform. Please contact us in case of questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
