Action Description
The "Set source" action allows to set/change the source from which the station acquired the asset (e.g., ingested, transferred, transcoded, etc). Please note that this action can be used with an "Asset custom log" to record the source change in the asset's operations log.
NB: Please note that the source is a Flexi-metadata for handling assets. Further details on this property can be found in the Etere Flexi-metadata chapter.
