Locating shows, playlists and groups in Multiplay

The first tab in the Show pane represents the show (e.g. MyShow), while the other tabs represent the playlists that are hosted by the show (e.g. MyVidWall),

Each tab contains Groups (e.g. MyGroup1, MyGroup2), and each group contains the elements for a story. When you select a group, the related media elements are loaded into the Media Column.

Add a new group to the bottom of the list of groups:

1. Click the Add button at the bottom of the show pane.

   

2. Give the group a title and press ENTER.

Insert a group into a specific spot in the list of groups:
