Configuring Tickers
The ticker region of a multi-region screen template is a Flash region that receives
information from an RSS feed to display news, weather, or other dynamic
information. Once you design the ticker, you need only select one or more RSS
feeds to be displayed on the ticker. To select one or more RSS feeds, use the
Ticker option on the Control Panel.

Approving Ticker Content
Each piece of news in the ticker must be approved before it is distributed. You can
either approve each headline individually or automatically approve all ticker
headlines from any RSS feed.
either approve each headline individually or automatically approve all ticker
headlines from any RSS feed.
If you do not automatically approve at least one of your RSS feeds, you may need
to have someone check the ticker content throughout an event and approve new
RSS headlines. Otherwise, your ticker content will be empty. This happens because
RSS headlines may change as a result of regular refreshes. Once all of your initial
RSS headlines have been replaced, none of the new headlines are approved, and
hence the ticker that is displayed is empty. If you do not want to use auto approve,
you can minimize the requirement to approve new content by setting the refresh
time to a high number of seconds (e.g. 3600 seconds). However, this means the
ticker data is not as current.

Understanding How RSS Ticker Content is Refreshed
Cisco SV Director is the broker between the one or more RSS feeds configured
within it and the DMP community it serves. According to the refresh rate, SV
Director checks the freshness of each RSS feed and if there is something new it will
fetch it. Otherwise, the current set of data will be retained. Once every 30 seconds,
SV Director pushes the RSS data to the DMP community for display in the ticker.

Note that setting "Refresh (Sec)” to a value shorter than 30 seconds does not
impact the frequency of updates to the DMP and negatively impacts SV Director
server resources.
