Using the Exchange

 
Ensure that your computer's ClickView Library Manager can connect successfully with the ClickView Library Server. This is essential as the ClickView Exchange will utilise the ClickView Library's configuration to communicate with the ClickView Library Server.
Ask your school network administrator to configure your internet gateway firewall to permit outgoing TCP/IP connections through Port 9054.
Open the ClickView Exchange by opening the ClickView Library Manager, clicking on 'Tools' and choosing 'ClickView Exchange'.

Upload a video the ClickView Exchange

A video must be first uploaded onto the ClickView Exchange Server before it is available to other schools for download. To contribute a broadcast-recorded video onto the ClickView Exchange Server, you'll need header-bar located on the left-hand side of the interface. You'll see the subject categories located within your school's ClickView Library.

Select the category which contains the video which you'd like to contribute to the ClickView Exchange. Then locate and double-click the video intended for upload from the selected subject category.

You'll now be prompted to enter some extra information to assist ClickView Exchange users who wish to obtain the broadcast source of each video. Finally, for browsing purposes, you'll be asked to select the ClickView Exchange subject category or categories under which you'd like to store the contributed video. Then press 'OK' to begin the upload process.

The video will then be extracted from your school's ClickView Library Server and packaged (video files + resources + cover image + video details) into a single CLK file ready for transportation onto the ClickView Exchange Server.
You can monitor the progress of your upload by clicking the "Transfers" panel.

The contributed video will now be available on the ClickView Exchange, located under the intended subject category/categories.

If you wish to remove a video which you've contributed to the ClickView Exchange, simply right-click on the video and click 'Remove from the ClickView Exchange'. NOTE: A user will be permitted only to remove video which they contributed to the ClickView Exchange themselves.
