Using Automation Setup Assistant

105

To configure a metadata subscription automation:
Enter a name for the automation.

1

This is the name that will appear in the Subscription pane of the client’s
Administration window.
Select whether to watch assets or productions.

2

Configure the Metadata area to specify the metadata to watch for.

3

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

Â

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

Â

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.

You can add multiple lines in the Metadata area to make the subscription very specific.
Click the Add (+) button to add an additional line or the Delete (–) button to remove a
line (when more than one line is present).
