You can also use the context menu to create and edit your playlist. When your entries are selected, right-click in the Navigation pane and select Playlist – Add selection to existing playlist.
From the ribbon, go to Edit – Playlist – Playlist management.
Playlists can be saved three different ways:
| OPTION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Local | The playlist is saved locally and can only be accessed as such. These can only be launched through the playlist management. |
| Shared | The playlist is saved in the database. It can be accessed by anyone on the data source. These can be launched through the playlist Management or by using the entry itself. |
| User vault | The playlist is saved in your user vault and can only be accessed by the user. These can be launched through the playlist management or by using the entry itself. |
If you wish to pre-determine a list of entries, select them for your playlist in the user vault.
In the Edit ribbon menu, click Playlist, then select whichever setting you prefer.
