Playlists

Playlists allow you to program your content exactly as you want by choosing the exact order of different types of content (e.g. Ad, Bump, Open, and Video) that plays in your playlist.

 

Note: This is a premium Powr feature and is only applicable for Network accounts. Contact your Solutions Engineer for further details if you have interest.
