TweetOut is configured using a web-based interface called Flow.
Flow is a content management solution for broadcast and electronic signage installations and is designed to simplify content management and editorial production with Bannister Lake products. Built with the feedback of editorial staff and production managers, Flow makes entering and managing your on-air content easier than ever.
The following diagram illustrates Flow’s role in the TweetOut solution.
The Flow interface provides:
- Editorial staff with configuration control of TweetOut content as well as management tools to define when and how that content is broadcast.
- Administrators with user management tools, audit log access, content rundown previews, and configuration of system-wide preferences.
