8.3 Defining Folders
8.3.1 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 8.3.2, 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.
Outboxes are used to export files or Assets to an outbox directory on the Storage 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 Storage Server (FTP watch folder), or are locally
available on the TX/MAM server, mostly via a mount on the Storage Server. Both Inboxes and
Outboxes are linked to a User group.
[See also chapter 14 for an explanation of the ingest workflow.]
Example Folder definition.
Configuration of the Storage server is described in more detail in the Commissioning Manual.
