Adding Content

1. Right click on the folder you want your image to be imported into and select 'New Content in this Category', then select 'Image'.
2. In the dialog box, select the ellipses next to the URL region to browse your computer for your image file. ONLY .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or other image file formats will be viewed through this selection. Selecting your file before naming it will also give the file the same name as it is in your computer's file management system. 
   
3. Click on the 'upload arrow' in the URL region. Only do this if your file is not coming from the M-Drive. If your file is coming from the M-Drive, continue to step 5.
   
4. In the next dialog box, click upload. Once the image is done uploading click 'OK' to return to the previous dialog box. 
   
5. Change the duration to between 8 and 12 seconds. Use your best judgment.
   
6. Under 'Suggested Recurrence', click on the ellipses to schedule your content.
   
   If you are scheduling a poster for an event, select 'End by:' and select the day after the event takes place and select 'OK'.
   
7. Change the Scaling option to 'Fill container, distort aspect ratio if necessary'. 
   
8. Go back to the 'General' tab and click 'OK' to complete uploading your image.

3. Click on the 'upload arrow' in the URL region. Only do this for files that are not located on the M-Drive. Videos that are pulled from the M-Drive work much better than videos that have been uploaded to Content Manager. 
4. In the next dialog box, click upload. Once the video is done uploading click 'OK'.
   
5. The video will play for the entire duration, so duration does not need to be set if the entire video should play.

*The only differences from adding an image is that PDFs have the option to set 'Page Durations'. Images also have an 'Advanced' tab where you can make the image scale to fit the region. PDF's are not scalable. Keep this in mind when adding your content.
