Platform Basics

Learn what Blings Platform is for and how it supports enterprise MP5 operations

Blings Platform is the operating workspace for enterprise MP5 projects. Use Platform when a project needs to be configured, delivered, validated, monitored, edited, measured, or improved after the creative structure exists.

Use this guide before opening the detailed Platform articles.

What Platform Owns

Area	What Platform controls
Dashboard	Project status, preview, shortcuts, performance cards, and project entry points.
Analytics	Generated videos, plays, engagement, conversion, watch time, date ranges, and performance trends.
Edit Content	Approved text, media, interactive, and general values exposed for Platform editing.
Flow Map	Lineups, scene routing, condition nodes, A/B test nodes, and publishable flow changes.
Dynamic Data	Project fields, groups, defaults, internal fields, and catalog item fields.
Live Control	Shared operational values such as brand colors, logos, campaign labels, and global offer settings.
Catalog	Reusable rows for products, plans, offers, recommendations, locations, and other grouped records.
Form Data	Viewer-submitted values captured through configured MP5 forms.
Integration	Landing-page URLs, dynamic thumbnails, CRM links, spreadsheet delivery, SDK setup, and custom code.
Simulation	Representative profiles for testing the experience with realistic viewer data.
Settings	Player loading, playback, timeline, story mode, colors, preview, and project settings.
Optimization	Variant testing and traffic distribution when optimization is active.

Basic Platform Workflow

1

Check the Dashboard

Start with project health, preview state, analytics summary, selected lineup, and shortcuts into the key project areas.

2

Validate Content and Flow

Use Edit Content for approved business edits and Flow Map for routing, lineups, conditions, and A/B test paths.

3

Confirm Data and Forms

Review Dynamic Data, Live Control, Catalog, and Form Data so the project schema matches the viewer experience and integration source.

4

Test Delivery With Simulation

Use simulation profiles to validate the selected lineup against realistic data before sharing project links or SDK embeds.

5

Configure Launch Settings

Set player behavior, landing-page metadata, CRM or SDK methods, thumbnails, and optimization settings before launch.

When to Use Studio Instead

Use Studio when the structure of the MP5 experience needs to change:

• Scene design or layer timing.

• Connector setup or data binding behavior.

• Visual layout, media, animation, or scene properties.

• Creative flow map review, draft preview, or publishing creative changes.
