User Operations
Once Delivery Manager has been installed and fully configured, specific user operations
can be performed from within iTX Desktop and SmartClient. This chapter discusses which
operations can be performed in relation to Delivery Manager and should be considered an
addendum to the iTX Desktop Operator Guide and the SmartClient Operator Guide.
Note: iTX Workflow is required to perform any manual user operations for
Delivery Manger. See Additional Setup for Manual/Export Mode on page 61
for more information.

iTX Desktop Transfer Status Display
In Search Media mode, if an iTX Desktop operator adds an asset that does not yet have an
iTX location to a live schedule in a playout channel, iTX will then use Missing Materials
Manager to trigger Delivery Manager into locating the missing file by querying all its
configured endpoints.
Its Cache Status will then be shown as blue in the channel's schedule grid, indicating the
media exists on an external store or archive:

This will change to green once the media has been restored to iTX and is then cached to the
output server to be played. The progress of the restoration job can then be monitored in
either the Smart Client Jobs workspace , or iTX Desktop’s Job Monitoring layout.
