About logging templates
A typical template lists an asset type and a group of event types. For example, a template
for annotating a video clip of a tennis match, may contain details of: an asset type ("Tennis")
linked to a schema that has fields for storing general information about the match; also, a
group of event types ("Serve", "Return", "Set point", "Match point", etc.) for the marking of
different types of action in the match.
A template is selected in the Clip Data pane in the Annotate workspace. You access the
Annotate Workspace by clicking the pencil Annotate button on the top right of the View
screen in the Browse layout. On the Metadata panel, SmartClient displays a dropdown list
of types that are available from this template. Features for the entry of asset metadata
appear when a type is assigned to an asset.
On the Event Logging panel, SmartClient displays an annotation button for each event type
in the template. Features for the entry of event metadata appear automatically each time
an event in an asset is marked. These features are determined by the schemas linked to the
types that the buttons represent.
