Action Description
The "Update asset code from Flexi-metadata" action allows the update of the code of an asset from a specific Flexi-metadata.
Please note that in case the code to be assigned already exists (i.e. it's used by an asset in the database), the following actions will be taken:
1. The existing asset's code will be renamed by adding a numeric suffix (e.g. _1),
2. The current asset's code will be renamed into the Flexi metadata (e.g. final version code).
Action Parameters
Under this section, it is possible to create new actions based on the following parameters:
Parameters
Name - Give a brief and self-descriptive name to the action (e.g. set asset back to original code).
Flexi-metadata - Specify the metadata to be used for updating the asset code. It will be possible to select any metadata enabled for assets (see Managing Flexi-metadata). Please note that it's possible to use the "MAM > Final version code" metadata (which holds the code of the original asset from which a version has been created) by selecting an item linked to said metadata (see Linking Flexi-metadata Profiles and Elements).
Check mode - Specify the way the code will be updated with the Flexi-metadata, that is, if the action will update either:
Check mode - Based on workflow - The code will be updated with the metadata for either the asset form to which the T-workflow is attached or the EDL segment for which the T-workflow has been launched).
Check mode - Always on asset - The code will be updated with the metadata always for the asset form to which the T-workflow is attached.
Depending on the success of the update operation, one of the following results will be returned by the action:
Updated (successfully updated)
Not updated (metadata is empty, or there's an error)
How to use it
The T-Workflow designer permits using "Update asset code from Flexi-metadata" actions to, for example, update the code of a new asset version with the code of the original asset.
