Knowledge Base

Once a session has been recorded, it appears in the library. From there, the session's owner can manage it — rename, tag, protect, share, or delete it — and export it in the format they need.

This page applies to everyone with sessions to manage: what you can do to a given session depends on whether you own it, whether it's shared with you, or whether you're an Administrator.

Important note: Only a session's owner, or an Administrator, can manage or export it. Only Administrators can transfer ownership of a session to someone else — see User Accounts and Roles.

Prerequisites

• At least one session must already be recorded — see Record a Session.

The library

Recorded sessions appear in the library as cards. All management and export actions are available from a session's card.

Researcher/Trainers and Administrators also see Import for uploading portable recording bundles into the library. Technicians can run the same upload import through technical/CLI workflows; Student/Trainee and Guest roles cannot import recordings.

1. Downloading a session

1. Open the three-dot menu on the session's card.
2. Click Download. A panel opens at the right of the page to manage the download.
3. Choose Separate files or Composition. Then choose the streams to include and whether to include annotations (as CSV). With Separate files, Format also lets you choose MP4 (one video file per stream, plus annotations) or Native (re-importable) (the complete session as an archive you can import back into NoldusViso, where the stream and annotation options do not apply).
4. Click Start download.
5. A notification in the bell menu confirms the download is being prepared. When it is ready, your browser saves it.

Note: Downloads are saved through your browser to your computer's default downloads location.

2. Managing a session

The same three-dot menu on a session's card also gives access to:

• Rename session — opens a dialog where you type the session's new name.
• Protect from auto-delete — exempts the session from the organization's retention policy, so it won't be deleted automatically. The card then shows a Secured label, and the menu offers Remove protection.
• Share session — opens a dialog to share the session with other users.
• Delete — opens a confirmation dialog before removing the session.
• Transfer Ownership — Administrators only; hands ownership of the session to another user.

3. Tagging a session

Click directly on a session card's tags area to add a tag by typing — no separate dialog needed.

4. Storage and retention

All sessions are stored centrally. Your organization's Administrator or Researcher/Trainer can set a retention policy that automatically deletes sessions after a set time. Protecting a session (see above) exempts it from that automatic deletion.

5. Batch actions

Select the checkboxes in the top-left corner of multiple session cards to apply the same action — download, share, tag, delete, and so on — to all of them at once. A bar at the bottom of the page then offers the actions for the selected sessions.
