Base Folder

Select a folder where the tags should be searched.

  • If you leave it as it is, all devices will be examined for matching tags.
  • The search is recursive, all folders below the selected folders will be searched.

Tag selector

In tag selector you can select tags to define which devices should be playing inside the channel.

  • In this modal you cannot add new tags, only select from the ones previously added in Settings/Tags menu or manually applied on the devices.
  • You can save the filtering with tags that have no match, and later when you add these tags to devices, they will automatically play the contents according to the settings you set previously.

Match type

In match type, you can decide whether all tags should match on the device or at least 1 tag should match on the device.

Examples
Example 1. - Any match

We want to create a cocktail making channel, where we want all the devices tagged by Coconut should play the content.

  • Device-A has tags: Apple Banana Coconut
  • Device-B has tags: Coconut Lime
  • Device-C has a tag: Apple
Result

Because Coconut appears on Device-A and Device-B they will play the content.

Example 2. - all match

We want to create a cocktail making channel, where we want devices tagged by Coconut AND Lime to play the content.

  • Device-A has tags: Apple Banana Coconut
  • Device-B has tags: Coconut Lime
  • Device-C has a tag: Apple
Result

Because both Coconut AND Lime have to appear on the Device in order to play the content, only Device-B is eligable to play the content.
