Manual download receiver

Manual download is one of the options for configuring a PDX receiver. The manual download creates an output file and provides a link to the download. A manual download configuration is the default configuration type when a receiver is added to a channel.

To complete the configuration, follow the 'Next' prompts in the 'Output configuration' popup after selecting the desired output type and completing the necessary fields.

For more information on output templates, refer to the Templates library section of the General tab page for output topic.

Note: A template must be available and selected in the 'Default output template' section order to publish the receiver.

If the 'Category output template' is enabled, the standard template will be overridden.
