# Playlist properties

These properties define the presentations that will be played within the **Presentation in Page** element. You can add a single presentation or create a **playlist** of multiple presentations that will be played sequentially.

#### **Managing the Playlist**

* Add, edit, reorder, or remove items from the playlist.
* Navigate through items using the **navigation buttons** at the bottom.
* The **total duration** of all playlist items is displayed.

💡 **For general playlist management details, see "Working with Playlists."**

### **Presentation in Page Playlist Item**

#### **Type**

Defines the **source** of the included presentation:

| **Option**                                  | **Description**                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **PADS4 Presentation from Content Library** | References a presentation stored in the **PADS4 content library** (recommended). Content library items are automatically **synchronized** across all PCs in your system. |
| **PADS4 Presentation from File**            | References a presentation stored **outside** the content library. These files are **not synchronized** automatically, and you must manually distribute them.             |
| **No PADS4 Presentation**                   | No presentation is included—this option is used to create a **pause** in the playlist.                                                                                   |

#### **Content**

Contains the **file reference** for the selected presentation type. You can:

* Browse the **Content Library** or your file system.
* If using "PADS4 Presentation from File," specify the **full file path**.

#### **Duration**

Defines how long (in **seconds**) the selected presentation or pause will be displayed.

#### **Clip Presentation**

* **If enabled**, only a portion of the presentation will be played based on the selected page range.
* **First Page:** The first page to be displayed.
* **Last Page:** The last page to be displayed.

***

### **Remarks**

* **Only references** to presentation files are stored in the **container presentation**—not the actual files. If the referenced presentation is updated, the latest version will be used automatically during playback.
* **Playlist properties will be disabled** when the element is connected to a **data source**. In this case, content is determined by real-time data.
* **In PADS4 Designer**, data providers inside the **Presentation in Page** element are **not loaded** for performance reasons.
