Navigating the Interface
When you first sign in, the Haivision Media Platform web interface opens to the Library (showing the Videos list).
- If you activate the Portal, the interface opens to the Portal. The Portal is an optional feature that your organization can use to create a custom landing (home) page for users. For more information, please refer to Configuring Feeds and Activating the Portal.
- Depending on your license, an IPTV, Live Review, and/or Layouts link also appears on the navigation bar.
- To open the Portal, view live IPTV content, manage layouts, schedule an event, or manage devices (set-top boxes), click the option on the navigation bar. Clicking an option opens the selected screen.
- Clicking the icon opens the navigation drop-down menu, which contains the following items:
- Administration — Opens the administration screen.
- Import/Export — Allows you to import or export videos. See Managing Imports and Exports in the User's Guide.
- Keyboard Shortcuts — Lists shortcuts available for the current screen you are viewing.
- User Preferences — Allows you to adjust the UI brightness and contrast, and reset the HMP stored preferences.
- About — Lists the current HMP version number.
- What's New — Displays a list of new HMP features.
- Help — Opens the Haivision InfoCenter. If you do not have a connection to the Internet, opens a bundled HTML version of the HMP documentation.
For details on using the non-administrator functions of the HMP interface, including viewing and search options, see the User’s Guide.
