Enabling preview for a product | NAGRAVISION Documentation Portal

Overview

A preview-enabled product is one that allows users who do not have entitlements to the product’s contents to view the content for a limited time.

For example, you could enable preview on an existing channel bundle product so that your users can view these channels for ten minutes in any 24-hour period. They may then be tempted to purchase a subscription for the channels.

The instructions below assume that the product already exists.

Making a product preview-enabled

Set the following attributes on a product to enable preview:

Attribute	Description	Default value
`isPreview`	Enables (`true`) or disables (`false`) preview for the product.	`false`
`maxPreviewDuration`	The number of minutes each account can watch the content within the period specified by `previewCycle` (see below)	10
`previewCycle`	How often the usage measurement resets. It can take a value of `Day` or `Monthly`.	`Day`
`maxSessions`	The maximum number of concurrent sessions that can watch the preview product’s content	No limit Existing session limits apply – see Setting concurrent streaming limits for accounts or device groups.

You can set these attributes on a product in multiple ways:

When ingesting the product as XML – see product (editorial-based) in Content import
When ingesting the product via API – see Creating a product
