What is ClickView Library Manager?

The contents of your ClickView software are housed on the ClickView Library Server. The ClickView Library Manager is the content management system that we use to remotely manage the ClickView Library Server.

The ClickView Library Manager software usually sits on the desktop of the person who is responsible for ClickView within your school, typically your AV staff and library staff. It can be available on multiple computers, but is
best kept to a minimum to avoid confusion amongst staff.

ClickView administrators can edit data, add content/resources and control access to anything found in the ClickView Library Server.

All the changes made to ClickView Library Manager are reflected in the ClickView Player.

Password protecting a video

ClickView allows you to password protect videos to restrict user access to some videos. Password protection still enables students to see the videos exist, however, they won't be able to play the video without the password.

2.
Select the video you would like to edit
3.
Check the box 'Password protect?'
4.
Type in the password for that video

Removing passwords: To remove password protection from a video, simply uncheck the box 'Password protect?' Changing passwords: To change a password, simply follow steps 1 - 4 and change the password in the field.

Watching a password protected video

 
Anyone with the password to the protected video can access that video using ClickView Player.

1.
Open ClickView Player
2.
Select the video you wish to watch that is password protected

protected and you will be asked to enter your password into the box. If the password is correct, you will then be able to view the video.


Further restrictions to content can be made using our security add-on
ClickView Access Manager. It uses an existing LDAP user account
management system to restrict access to content based on user
privileges and is ideal for schools running a primary and secondary
library on the same server.

Adding resources to a video

 
Most videos in the ClickView Digital Video Library come with resources and worksheets for students and teachers. Teachers can also add their own worksheets or lesson plans to ClickView and customise the learning experience in their school.

Word documents, PDFs, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations can all be added as resources to a corresponding ClickView video.

1.
Open ClickView Library Manager
2.
Select the video to which you want to add the resource
3.
Select the 'Resource Title' column header on the right hand side
4.
Select the 'Add' button and a pop up box will appear
5.
Select the file destination of the file you wish to add, select the file and click 'Open'. The resource will now be associated with that video, and
will be able to be viewed by anyone who opens that video in ClickView
Player.
