Linking objects to a data source
Creating a snapshot or ticker for social media content
Once a social media data source has been defined, you can create a ticker or snapshot
based on the data source. Typically, tickers are used for message streams and snapshots
are used for polls.
To create a snapshot associated to a social media data source:
1.
Open the Data Manager.
2. Select the schema that contains the social media data source.
3. Click C REATE S NAPSHOT or C REATE T ICKER .
The Settings window appears.
4. In the S NAPSHOT N AME or T ICKER N AME field, enter a name for the snapshot or ticker.
5. If you are creating a ticker, complete the following properties in the T ICKER S ETTING
section:
• I
NTERVAL ( SEC ): The number of seconds you would like to elapse before
displaying the next data item in the I NTERVAL field.
• I TEMS : The number of data rows that are available for display in the Items field.
• I NCREMENT : The number of rows you would like to increment. The number of
items must always be equal to or less than the increment number to avoid
data items being skipped.
• B URST : The number of data items you would like initially sent from Data
Server to the output device. If no Burst is required, leave the value set to 0.
See
page 9-14 for more information.
• R EFRESH ONLY AT END : Check the check box to refresh ticker data only after
it has gone through the entire table.
• S TART BY DEFAULT : Check the check box to have the ticker start running as
soon as its host control panel or page is activated.
• W RAP AROUND : Check the check box to have the ticker wrap. See page 9-14
for more information.
• L OOP : Check the check box to have the ticker start at the beginning of the
table and play again after it has reached the end. See page 9-14 for more
information.
• I NDIVIDUALISED : Check the check box when you want to allow each client
(template) to control the state of the ticker independently. See page 9-14 for
more information.
6. In the S ELECT D ATA S OURCE drop-down list, select a social media data source.
Additional fields automatically appear which allow you to identify the specific message
stream or poll. These fields vary according to the Provider and Type defined in the
selected data source.
