About
The Draftentry module enables users to create an entry in the video portal without uploading any content, such as video, audio, or images. Users can define entry metadata, such as the title and description, during the creation process. This module is particularly useful for scenarios where one user sets up the entry and provides the metadata, while the actual content can be added later - either by the same user or another collaborator.
Configure
1. Go to your Configuration Management console and click on the Draftentry module. You can also navigate to it directly using a link: https://{your_KMS_URL}/admin/config/tab/draftentry.
The Draftentry page displays.
2. Configure the following:
enabled - Set to 'Yes' to enable the module.
addMediaFromUrl - Set to 'Yes' to enable the option for users to add content from a URL (e.g., YouTube), in addition to uploading media from their desktop. Selecting No restricts users to desktop uploads only.
validateUrl - Set to 'Yes' to enable URL validation. If set to No, the system won't validate URLs, and users must re-enter valid URLs if an invalid one is entered.
draftEntryMode - Select Video Draft Entry (recommended) to make the draft entry that can receive only video content (no audio/image). Such draft entries are fully supported by REACH workflow, and they will be visible in the Kaltura Management Console.
Select Base Draft Entry to enable the upload of any type of content at a later stage. However, please note the following limitations:
- Not supported by the REACH workflow: Captions for these entries can only be requested after the content is uploaded.
- Not visible in the Kaltura Management Console: These entries will not appear until the content is uploaded.
Avoid using Base Draft Entries if your account has automatic caption requests configured.
3. Click Save.
