the placeholder. The Schedule Playout page is described in Content File Actions on
page 24. To schedule placeholders, this installation must allow scheduling of unattached

you to the Edit Content page as described in Content File Actions on page 20.
•
Purge and Bump – If this placeholder is part of a series you can remove it from the Web
Application but preserve the series information. For example, a series on quilting might
have 8 episodes. The producer decides to cancel the 3rd episode. You could purge and
bump Quilting_3. There will now be only 7 episodes in the series. The new Quilting_3 will
inherit the filename, ingest date, and other metadata from the old Quilting_4. Quilting_4
will inherit the metadata from the old Quilting_5, etc.
•
Purge – If you want to remove this placeholder from the Web Application and not
preserve any of its metadata, click the Purge button. This is a good choice if the event
associated with this placeholder is cancelled. To continue the example, if the entire quilting
series were cancelled, you would purge each placeholder.
