What is a List Action?

A List Action is an instruction given to the media in a content list to play in a specific way.

Types of List Actions

Loop

The Loop List Action is added to the last piece of media or container in your content list. It will instruct the content list to return to the first piece of media or container in the list and start playing again from the top.

Play Next

The Play Next List Action instructs the system to play the next piece of media or container in the content list. It is added automatically when you drag media or a container into a content list.

Hold Frame

The Hold Frame List Action instructs the system to stay on the frame it’s on.

Marker & Jump To

The Marker and Jump To List Actions are always used in conjunction. The marker tells the system where to Jump to.

Synchronize Back

The Synchronize Back List Action is used when triggering content. It will instruct the content list to return to where it left off after playing the triggered content.
