Create role-based rules for channels


About

With REACH services, your videos can have quality captioning and transcriptions, featuring machine or professional human captions. To order services (captions, translations, audio descriptions, or chaptering) for a channel, simply create a role-based rule for the desired service. These rules will automatically trigger caption requests for entries meeting specific criteria.

Please note the categoryRuleOrderRole field must be configured by your administrator in the REACH module.

Access the channel

  1. From the user menu, choose My Channels.

  2. The My Channels page displays.

  3. Click the channel thumbnail to select it. You can select more than one channel.
  4. Choose +Services ordering rules from the Actions menu.

  5. The Captions and Enrichment Services page displays.
