VESPER Series

Introduction

VESPER Series in FORGE (‘Series’ from now on) are references to VESPER Series, which are groups of VESPER Seasons. The UEFA Champions League is a Series example.

The Series-specific fields are:

• Series Id (Read-only): The unique identifier of the VESPER Series.

• Description: The series description as it is imported from Vesper. When edited, this field is no longer synchronized with Vesper.

• Long Description: Extended description providing more detailed information about the Series. When edited, this field is no longer synchronized with Vesper.

• Series Logo: GAD asset used as the series logo.

• Number of Elements (read-only): Number of Seasons present in this entity.

• Sponsored by: List of partners that play the role of sponsor.

Where do I find Series?

Expand the left menu by selecting the expand button on top. Then, scroll to find the VESPER Series item.

Vesper to FORGE synchronization

Vesper is the source of truth for Series.

When VESPER Series are created or modified in VESPER, the changes are automatically propagated to the corresponding FORGE entities.

When you modify the title or editable fields of a Series, the changes are not propagated back to Vesper. For example, if you edit the Description, this field is no longer synchronized with the corresponding field in the VESPER Series.

How to restore the synchronization

By setting the same value as the field (e.g., Description) has in VESPER, you can restore the VESPER-to-FORGE synchronization.

Can I create a Series in FORGE?

No. The Series entity in FORGE is a reference to the VESPER Series.

How to manage Series

Thumbnail, description, and long description are the information to identify the Series. So, there’s no need to switch to the VESPER application to manage Series in FORGE. Go to VESPER if you need to list the Seasons within the Series.

You can leave a Series standalone or add it to an Editorial Selection.
