1 In the top menu, click Settings.
2 Click the Channel Settings tab.
3 In the Channels list, click the name of the channel that you want to modify.
4 In the Channel Details section, complete the basic information for the channel:
• In the Channel Name box, type a name for the channel.
• In the Channel Location box, type a label which can be used to identify the
channel location or region, or any other useful label (optional).
• In the Channel Type list, select the channel type that you want to assign to the
channel. The channel type applies a set of defined settings to the channel. For
more information, see
Creating a new channel type , on page 25.

notifications from appearing in GV STRATUS Playout and on-air failures from
appearing in the daily statistics. When the button is blue, Maintenance Mode is
enabled. The alerts are still visible in the card’s web interface.
• In the Auto Fill Schedule section, click Load to choose a schedule that will be
repeatedly appended to the playlist or click Clear to remove an existing schedule.
5 Click Update Channel.
Creating a channel hierarchy
Channels can be organized into a hierarchical structure so that changes made to the playlist
at the upper levels are propagated down to their associated channels without losing
changes made locally on those channels. For more information on channel hierarchies, see
About channel hierarchies , on page 36.
To create a channel hierarchy, you create a channel and then create channels below it. This
creates a parent-child relationship between the channel (parent) and the channels created
beneath it (children). When you append a schedule to the parent channel, it immediately
propagates the change down to the child channels, therefore inheriting the playlist from
the parent. Changes are not propagated back up the hierarchy so changes on a child
channel do not affect the parent channel. For multiple levels, you create the levels one at a
time from the top level down. Each time you need to create another level, you select a
parent channel and create the children below it.
To create a channel hierarchy:
1 In the top menu, click Settings.
2 Click the Channel Settings tab.
3 In the Channels list, click the name of the channel that you want to designate as the
top level channel.
4 Click New Child Channel.
