Introduction

By enabling the “Policy Engine”, you can add and manage different policies (or restrictions) that you can use for different monetization methods. Select a specific rule while adding a monetization method (i.e.  Subscription, PPV, etc.) You can add policies for “Add Free” content, and “Number Screens”. You can apply the policies to a specific monetization plan where you can allow your users to watch add free videos, and access a number of screens per subscription. You can add as many policies as you want for different monetization plans.

How to Enable Policy Engine

• To enable the “Policy Engine” feature, navigate to “Monetization” -->” Settings” in the CMS.
• Click on the “Monetization Settings" tab.
• Under “Add On”, select “Policy Engine”.

How to Add Policies

• To add policies, navigate to “Monetization”-->” Pricing” in the CMS.

• Click on “Add Policy”.
• Type the “Policy Name” (e.g., Add Free Plan, Premium Plan, etc.).
• Type the "Number of Screens” (e.g., 2, 4, 6, etc.). If you type 2 then the subscriber can watch content in a maximum of 2 screens (e.g., laptop, mobile). It only works for “Subscription” monetization.
• If you have integrated the “Advertisement” in the content, then in “Ads”, select “Enable”, if you want the end-user to watch ads when they watch your content.
