Conditional Entry Page URL - Admin Guide

About

The Conditionalentrypageurl module adds a button to the Entry page, which is displayed conditionally based on a custom metadata field. Follow the steps to log into the Configuration Management section and configure the Conditionalentrypageurl module. 

Before you begin

The button will display on the Entry page only if the following conditions are met:

1. A custom schema is added in the KMC.
2. The Customdata module is enabled and configured. The custom metadata profile displayed depends on the custom metadata profile selected on the Customdata module.
3. The metadata field that controls the button's visibility is set with a value.
4. A valid URL is provided in a separate custom metadata field designated for the button link.

Configure

1. Log into the Configuration Management console by going to your video portal URL and adding /admin at the end. 
2. Enter your Kaltura user ID and password.
3. Click Sign In.
   The Configuration Management console displays.
