7.2 Folders
You need superuser rights to work with Folders.
7.2.1 Introduction
In TX/MAM, Inboxes and Outboxes can be configured. Inboxes (watch folders) are automatically
checked for files. Based on a number of options described in more detail in paragraph 7.2.2, files in
the Inbox are then automatically ingested.
Each Folder is linked to a User Group and Asset Type. Files imported from the Folder are linked to
Assets for the specified User group and Asset Type. Assets are automatically related to the Folder
Asset Type. When ingest has completed, files are moved from the Inbox.
Files and Assets are linked based on the filename (the first part before the file extension) and the
Asset’s external reference. Please find two examples below:
Filename Asset (external reference)
abc123.mpg abc123
abc123_eng.stl English subtitle belonging to the Asset with ext. reference abc123
Outboxes are used to export files or Assets to an outbox directory on the FTP server. Outboxes are
linked to a User Group. Only Users in the specified User Group are allowed to export to that Folder.
Both Inboxes and Outboxes can be configured on the K2 Storage Server (FTP watch folder), or are
locally available on the TX/MAM server, mostly via a mount on the K2 Storage Server. Both Inboxes
and Outboxes are linked to a User group.
