45 minutes might be all you need

We often hear from our customers that our full end-to-end training is great, but as we continue to roll out new features into our mpx services, they need a way to stay up to speed and appropriately trained on all of the mpx functionality – and in manageable pieces.

We’ve come up with a new training format that we believe does exactly that.

Introducing mpx Training modules

We’ve taken specific components from the mpx console and created standalone training modules. For example, if you only have 45 minutes and would like to better understand Ingest and how the WatchFolders and FeedReaders work to efficiently ingest your content – now you can request training specifically focused on that service. Or, perhaps Publishing and publish profiles have been a point of confusion, and you’d like to review and understand how they work and how to create a more flexible profile – now you can. This new approach will allow you to schedule training on just about any piece of functionality within mpx. And best of all, each training lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Here’s a list of the new mpx training modules:

  • Ingest – An overview of Watch Folders, Feed Readers and Ingest Adapters, how to configure them through mpx, and how they work with the Ingest System to ingest your content.
  • Metadata management – Editing metadata, creating thumbnails and organizing media. Tips for simplifying and customizing your workflow.
  • Policies – Managing Ad Policies and Restrictions in mpx and the different ways to apply them to your content.
  • Publishing – An overview of Publishing and Publish Profiles, and how to create a profile that is flexible enough for all your media.
  • Sharing – An overview of Sharing and how to setup and use Sharing and Receiving profiles for the sharing of media from one account to another.
  • Feeds – An overview of the Feeds Management Service and Feed Adapters, and how to configure and manage them in the mpx console.
  • Reporting – An overview of Media Requests and the Reporting interface.
  • Administrative Account Setup – An overview of the administrative tasks in mpx. i.e. configuring default delivery settings, managing Asset Types, Categories, Custom Fields, Email Notifications, customizing Media Panels, configuring Encoding Profiles, Servers, authorizing Users, etc.

To take advantage of this new offering, or request a training of any kind, please contact your account manager or email training@theplatform.com.

Note: Our more comprehensive overview (2 hours) will continue to be available for those that would like to understand the complete end to end functionality – from the different methods of ingesting content and ease of managing – to smart publishing, feeds and consumer playback.
