A base sequence is a sequence upon which you stack other sequences. It provides default items for display, controls which slots can be overridden, and provides a maximum duration for slots. Multiple sequences can be stacked and shared, supporting a hierarchy of control that is ideal for international, regional, and local advertising campaigns spanning thousands of screens.
For more information about sequences and stacking see the overview.
To use sequence as a base:
- Click the Sequence button () to display the Sequence dialog.
- On the General tab, enter a name in the Label field.
- In the Type dropdown menu, select Stacks on a shared base. The Base sequence field is displayed.
- In the Base sequence field, select the sequence you want to use as the base.
- On the Sequences tab, an icon is added next to the sequence label () to show it is stacked above another, and the name of the base sequence is added below (). If there is more than one base, the names are separated with a forward slash.
Click the Open base button () to view the base sequence(s) below the current sequence.
Click the name of a sequence to open it in the tab.
