Information
Information templates within VALT are used to tie searchable & reportable information to videos. A template(s) is assigned to a user group, where when that user starts or schedules a recording their set of templates will automatically get assigned to the associated recording(s).
Evaluation
An evaluation templates is typically used during a recording, or after a recording is completed (rarely accessed or completed at the beginning of a recording). An evaluation form acts much like an information form in that it is used to tie a single set of information into the recording. The big difference between an evaluation and information form is that numeric values can be assigned to the fields within an evaluation form. This allows scoring to be done on each item and the overall form. Evaluation also allow unique reports to be run against them that are based on score %.
Sharing
Sharing allows you to share videos with users or user groups that would normally not have access to the video.
Author
The author section can be used to change the author of the recording. The VALT system assigns access to the recording based on the author so changing the author will change who can see the live and recorded video.
Retention
By default, every recording has a retention rule assigned to it based on the author that recorded the video. The retention rule determines how long the video will be saved for before it is automatically deleted from the system.
