Monitoring media file transfers
The Transfer Monitor is used to monitor all K2 system transfer jobs and their status. A transfer job
is created for each “send to” or “import/export” operation. Once created, transfer jobs are added to
the transfer job queue where they are dispatched in a first in, first out basis. Up to four transfer jobs
can execute simultaneously. Any additional jobs wait in the queue.
NOTE:
If the
System | Transfer Monitor
menu option is grayed out, review your level of user access.
