Creating a new Channel
Navigate to Channel Management -> Channel Editing
Create a new Channel
A new overview opens. Here, first define a meaningful name and the desired language of the channel.
Decide whether it is a parent, child or independent channel
A channel has one of three roles, all of which are mutually exclusive:
- A standalone channel is neither set as parent channel (1), nor is it assigned to a parent channel (2). Any adjustments made to the channel's setting affect only itself.
By checking the box (1), a channel can be set as parent channel. Any adjustments made to the channel's settings are handed down to all of its child channels.
Create Child Channel with Parent Channel
If you choose this option, you can also create one or more child channels by entering a channel name in the line below and clicking Add Child.
- You can turn a channel into a child channel, by assigning it an existing parent channel (2). It inherits all setting changes made in the parent channel.
Parent channels are not intended as live channels!. Ideally, you would use a parent channel as a template for multiple live child channels. This allows you to modify each live channel individually.
If you wish to turn an existing standalone channel into a parent channel, please refer to this article.
Click → Add
The channel will be added to the list of existing channels. If it was added as a parent channel, this bill be marked. In addition, all new and existing child channels will be grouped with their respective parent channels..
