Using Device Setup Assistant

If the deleted device contained many assets that were in the Final Cut Server catalog,

it might take a significant amount of time for the delete operation to finish. You
cannot continue working with System Preferences until the delete completes.
Deleting a device does not affect the actual contents of the device’s volume.

If a job involving the device is in progress when you delete it, that job must

be completed before the device is actually deleted. (All other pending jobs are
canceled.) If you do not want to wait for the current job to finish, you can cancel it in
the client’s Search All Jobs window.
If you used Device Setup Assistant to add scans to a device, the schedules and

responses created for those scans are also deleted when the device is deleted.
If you used the client’s Administration window to configure any schedules or

responses for a device, only the scan and copy responses that reference that device
are deleted when the device is deleted. You can use the client’s Administration
window to manually delete any schedules that were created for the deleted device.
Any watchers that reference the device being deleted are also deleted. Any responses

that support the deleted watchers are not deleted, and will have to be deleted
manually using the client’s Administration window.

To make it easier to know which responses, watchers, and devices are related to

Tip:
each other, be sure to give them all names that make it easy to identify them.
