Creating sections

Sections help you organize the content included in a VOD Video on demand screen, or in a home screen. For example, you can create sections to organize horror films into Supernatural horror, Slasher, and Vampire, or create a section with films added over the past year.

After you create a section, you add it to multiple screens.
