Apple Final Cut Server - Manual (Page 84)

84 Part I Installation and Configuration
Each line in the Metadata area contains at least two pop-up menus:
 The first pop-up menu in the line chooses the metadata field to watch. In general, you
cannot add multiple lines that have the same metadata field selected. The exception
is if one of the lines has its operator (the second pop-up menu) set to Changes.
 The second pop-up menu chooses the operator to use when monitoring the first
pop-up menu’s metadata field. This choice determines whether a third item appears
in the line, which can be a text entry field or a third pop-up menu.
For example, if you want the automation to watch for an asset whose status changes to
Approved, you can use two lines.
 Choose Status in the first line’s first pop-up menu, then choose Changes in the
second pop-up menu. This sets this automation to only activate if the Status
metadata field for an asset changes.
 Add a second line and choose Status in its first pop-up menu, choose Matches in the
second pop-up menu, and then choose Approved in the third pop-up menu.
This sets this automation to only notice assets whose status changes to Approved and
to ignore any assets previously set to Approved.
