# Playlist properties

These properties define the **web content** displayed by the **Web Page Element**. You can select a **single web page** or create a **playlist** of multiple pages to be shown sequentially.

***

## **Managing the Playlist**

* Add, edit, reorder, or remove playlist items.
* Use navigation controls to browse through playlist items.
* The **total duration** of all items is displayed.

***

## **Web Page Playlist Items**

The **Type** field specifies the source of web content.

| **Option**                    | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **HTML**                      | Displays **embedded HTML content** instead of a full website.                                                                                                                                                                   |
| **HTML from Content Library** | Loads an HTML file **stored in the PADS4 Content Library** (recommended). Files in the library **sync across all systems**.                                                                                                     |
| **Web Page**                  | Displays a **website from the Internet or Intranet**. Requires **internet access**. Can also reference **HTML files stored outside the content library**. These files must be **manually distributed** to all playback systems. |
| **Separator**                 | Creates a **pause** in the playlist with no content displayed.                                                                                                                                                                  |

## **Content Configuration**

* Enter **HTML code, a website URL, or a file path**, based on the selected **Type**.
* Use the **browse** button to select a file from the **Content Library** or your local system.
* **External HTML files** must include the **full file path**.

**Tip:**\
The Web Page Element supports **any content** that a web browser can display, including **third-party applications, interactive elements, and streaming media**.

***

## **Duration**

* Sets **how long (in seconds)** each item remains on-screen before switching to the next.
* **Separators** introduce **pauses** in the playlist.

***

## **Cropping & Display Adjustments**

* **Crop**: Clips a portion of the web page for display.
* **Offset (Left, Top)**: Defines the **starting position in pixels** within the element.
* **Interactive Cropping**: Use the **crop tool** to manually adjust the visible portion.
* **Web Browser Container Size**:
  * Prevents unwanted **realignment** of web elements.
  * Set a **fixed size** larger than the visible area to maintain **layout consistency**.

***

## **Additional Considerations**

* **Memory Leaks**: Some web pages contain elements that **cause memory leaks**, potentially leading to **performance issues** during playback.
* **Live Updates**:
  * Web pages and HTML files are **referenced**, not embedded.
  * If the **source file or website** is updated, changes appear **automatically** during playback.
* **Data Source Connection**: If the Web Page Element is **linked to a data source**, playlist settings are **disabled**, and the displayed content is determined **in real-time**.
