Create a Project

About

In order to streamline the process for producers who are submitting content for a series and station managers who want to effectively manage their station's schedule, the Open Media System requires that all shows belong to a Project.  This allows multiple producers to collaborate on a show and web viewers can also easily watch a series from beginning to end.  With this Project-based user system you can:

  • Create a Project
  • Personalize Your Project
  • Add Users to Your Project and Let Users Join Your Project
  • Submit shows
  • Schedule your show within a community-based timeslot scheduler

What is a Project?

A project uses the available information submitted by a member when they create their profile to group together all relevant information associated with that member's content.
The Open Media tool set uses a Drupal Module called Organic Groups to make it easy for producers and members of public access stations to manage their projects. 
Steps for creating a new Project:
