<br />
<big>'''Create new Content Criteria'''</big><br />
It is really easy to create a new content criteria. You only have to build an expression by combining filters that will be evaluated to select the movies that match. The expression will be composed of one or more '''Groups''' each of them composed of one or more filters and the AND/OR relationship between them. Example:<br />
Group1 = FilterA OR FilterB
Group2 = FilterC
Content Criteria = (Group1 AND Group2) = ((FilterA OR FilterB) AND FilterC)
# First add a new '''Group''' by clicking on the [[File:NewGroupButton3.png|middle|80px]] button.
# Then add a new Filter by clicking on the [[File:AddMib3.png|middle|20px]] button.
# Select the type of filter from the list and fill the value for the filter. There are multiple filter types available and you can combine them as you want. Some examples of filters are:
#* Commercialization Type
#* Content Category
#* Distributor ID
#* Episodes by SeasonID
#* Episodes by SearieID
#* Genre ID
#* Instance ID
#* Last X days
#* Movie Type
#* Person Role
#* etc.
# Continue adding as many filters as desired to build the first group expression.
# When you have added all the filters for the first group, select the operator (AND / OR) that will be used to link the filters for that group.
# Now you can add a new group, go back to 1. When you have finished adding groups, select the operator (AND / OR) between the different groups.
