Action Description
The "Update Flexi-metadata from asset code" action allows the update of a specific Flexi-metadata from the code of an asset.
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. save asset code as metadata).
Flexi-metadata - Specify the metadata to be used for storing 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 metadata will be updated with the code, that is, if the action will update either:
Check mode - Based on workflow - The metadata will be updated with the code of either the asset to which the T-workflow is attached or the asset related to the EDL segment for which the T-workflow has been launched.
Check mode - Always on asset - The metadata will constantly be updated with the asset code 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 Flexi-Metadata from Asset Code" actions to, for example, save the code of an asset before an automatic modification.
