4. Clip settings
The fourth part of the training explains the last step to follow when adding a clip in a message list, i.e., the “Clip settings”. These settings let users set the clip duration, start and end dates, repetitions and transitions, among others.

5. Managing playlist
The fifth part of the training covers the management of playlists. What is displayed on your screens is determined by the content of your playlist. Different types of content can be added in these lists, such as image clips, message clips, RSS clips, weather clips, and many others. All content types you add in a playlist are considered clips, and each zone of your screen includes a playlist.

6. Editing a number of displays simultaneously
The sixth part of the training session explains managing content shared on many different displays. By leveraging playlists, users can manage the content of either a group of displays or their entire display network without having to edit each screen one by one. There are two ways of using playlists to manage the content of many different displays simultaneously:
- Share exactly the same content on all your displays or a group of displays. For more information: https://support.itesmedia.tv/en/how-to-batch-edit-the-content-of-multiple-screens-using-playlists#samecontentforall
- Share both unique content on individual displays and content displayed on various displays. For more information: https://support.itesmedia.tv/en/how-to-batch-edit-the-content-of-multiple-screens-using-playlists#samecontentwithuniquecontent
Playlists enable users to manage many different displays. Furthermore, users can leverage the advanced distribution module to edit content on a number of displays. This highly flexible module greatly streamlines the distribution of content on different displays. For example, users can easily share content on any display, regardless of the structure that was defined at the beginning of the project.

7. Implementation and questions
The last part of the training is a Q&A with users to assess their understanding. The course instructor will ask participants about different steps to follow to ensure notions were properly understood.
After this training session, users can attend additional sessions (depending on the terms of their contract). They can follow personalized sessions, or choose training about the template editor or about managing a display network.
