Managing Important Dates for Live Captioning in AIM

When scheduling live captions via your AIM <> 3Play integration, your course schedule specifies the times and days of the week that the course occurs. However, this may conflict with holidays or school closures. To prevent live captioning from being scheduled on these days, you can utilize AIM’s "Important Dates" functionality. Setting important dates ensures accommodations are not scheduled when the institution is closed.

If important dates were not specified before scheduling, individual live captioning events can be canceled directly in the 3Play interface under the Live Captioning section.

Note: If an event is canceled more than 24 hours in advance, no charges will apply.

Prerequisites

• 3Play Media Pro or Enterprise Account with Live Captioning enabled
• Accessible Information Management (AIM) DSV4 or DSV5
• Administrative permissions to manage important dates in AIM
