Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 84)

84 Chapter 6 Using Device Setup Assistant
Full scans: Â Full scans examine the device for any changes, including any new,
changed, or removed files. All of these changes are then made to the Final Cut Server
catalog. Full scans are processor intensive and may require significant computer
resources to run. For that reason, they are usually set to run once a day or once a
week, and usually at an otherwise slow time, such as the default time of 12:00 AM.
Add Only scans:
 Add only scans are not as thorough as full scans, locating only new
and changed files with a created or modified date between the last time this scan ran
and the current time (it will not see new files with created or modified dates older
than when the scan last ran; for example, files that you dragged to the device from
the Finder). These changes are then made to the Final Cut Server catalog. Because
add only scans are not as processor intensive as full scans, they are configured to run
often, such as at the default frequency of every 15 minutes.
Scan responses created for a device using Device Setup Assistant will Important:
have versioning disabled, regardless of whether version control was enabled when
you installed Final Cut Server. You can edit the response using the Final Cut Server
client’s Administration window.
Use the Metadata Set pop-up menu to choose a metadata set to assign to assets 9
added to the Final Cut Server catalog by these scans.
Metadata sets, which are comprised of metadata groups and fields, define the types of
metadata you can add to an asset. You can create custom metadata sets, groups, and
fields using the Final Cut Server client’s Administration window.
You cannot assign a different metadata set to an asset later.
