Tag-based playlists

Choose Tag-based option on the panel to access tagging settings. They allow you to keep playlist's content up to date automatically, based on the tags you put on your media and scenes.

Campaign settings

Choose Campaign option on the panel to access campaign settings.

Campaign mode is an Enterprise feature. If the Campaign tab in the playlist editor is missing or marked Enterprise, it is not enabled for your account yet.

Campaign mode lets you automatically publish a playlist to screens whose tags match your rules. Instead of picking devices one by one every time you publish content, you can create a rule like "every screen tagged Region: North and Store type: Flagship" — and the system will keep those screens in sync with the campaign playlist.
