Smartlists are not just playlists, they are really smart! They can be automatic and dynamic!

You can create two types of custom Smartlists: My List and Resume Playback.

Please note that custom Smartlists are not the same as custom Playlists. Custom Playlists must be created by your users through their client interface: your platform.

My list
Your users can save content to a dedicated list by clicking the icon 

They will then be able to view the items on this list either:

- On the home page, just like any Standard Smartlist.

- In the “My List” menu in the header.

Resume watching

Your viewers can continue watching content they have stopped. This feature is activated as soon as a video has been viewed for more than 10 seconds.

For do the final activation of the “My list” feature”,  you need to activate it on the layout of your plaform in your back office menu Header & Footer > Header > Categories > My List  

Note: these smartlists are dynamic, so if no content is added to “my list” or if no content is being watched, then the components will not be displayed on your platform.
