Action Description
The purpose of the "Create new linked asset" action template is, as its name suggests, to allow the creation of a new asset linked to the original from which the T-workflow is launched. The new asset will have the same title but a different code than the original one.
This action is helpful to, for example, create a new asset from within a T-workflow and start a specific task on the new asset (e.g. conforming).
Action Parameters
The only required parameters for this action are listed and explained below:
General info
Name - Enter a self-descriptive name for the action (e.g. Create a new linked asset without media)
Workflow - Optionally, select a T-workflow to be attached and launched on the new linked asset.
Option - The action can be executed with the following options:
None - If selected, the new version will feature the same EDL and media as the original asset.
Do not copy media - If selected, only the EDL will be associated with the new version (no media will be associated).
Do not copy EDL or media - No EDL or media will be associated with the new version if selected.
How to use it
This action can be used (in the T-Workflow designer) to, for example, delay the execution of a specific action (e.g. conforming) in case the media requires some time before being ready for transcoding.
