Add content from the catalogue

The Catalogue menu items enable you to populate the rail/section with various types of content from the catalogue, based on your selections:

Groups

Content groups

If you are adding series/season content group or a node that contains series and/or seasons, you can choose to collapse or expand them:

  • If you collapse them, they are added and presented as series/seasons, and not as the individual episodes that comprise them.

  • If you expand them, they are added and presented as individual episodes.

(Series/season content groups are collapsed by default. Series/seasons in nodes are expanded by default.)

To select whether to collapse or expand series/seasons, click Edit Properties for the node/content group in the right pane when adding or editing content to a rail and select or deselect Collapse Series as required.

By default, all the items from the group/node are added.

To change the number of items that are included from the group or node, once you have added it to the Added List:

  1. Click Edit Properties for the group/node in the Added List (right pane).

  2. In Number of Items, type the number of items or use the + and - buttons to change the number.

  3. Click Save.

If there are duplicate items in the node/group, they will be de-duplicated according to the configured rules and priorities – see Managing search.
