Overview
Radix Streams is a new addition to the Radix Device Management platform. It is a content management system (CMS) that allows you to create a content carousel or slideshow with display rules. Once you have created a Stream, it is possible to add or remove slides, as well as to rearrange the order of the slides. The content can consist of:
- - Images,
- - Videos,
- - URLs, or
- - Creatives--A custom-made style sheet including text, images, clickable buttons, and more.
(For instructions on making a custom-made creative content item, see Creating Content for a Stream.)
Besides controlling the order of the images, you can also control how long each element will be displayed.
