A schedule is a collection of user-defined settings used to automate the recording and publishing process. Schedules are created using Management Portal and include the following information:
•Presentation properties—basic details (information tab), folder, publishing and delivery options, player settings, security (folder overrides), and actions
•Presentation naming convention (based on schedule name)
•Recurrence settings—when and how often presentations are created
•Recording device or user profile associated with schedule
•Level of automation—how much of the recording and publishing process is automated
•Email notification details
When you create a schedule, the scheduler does not immediately create all its presentations. Instead, the service creates presentations as specified in the schedule – either a few days, hours, or minutes prior to recording. In the case of schedules created for user profiles,
Recorders then retrieve their schedules and create, record, and publish presentations using the settings and recurrence pattern defined in each schedule. For fully automated schedules, the recording device works with Mediasite to handle the following tasks: creating presentations, recording, publishing, and managing notifications.
