Moving assets to/from the Xmedia Server and other devices
d. Optional - Enable and set a E XPIRY D ATE and P UBLISH L IFESPAN fields. The E XPIRY
D ATE specifies a date when the asset will be automatically deleted from the main
XMS, spoke XMSs (hub & spoke model), as well as removing the asset from the
devices that it was published to.
The P
UBLISH L IFESPAN is used by the Xmedia Server to determine how long (in days)
the asset remains on a device that it has been published to before it is removed.
e. The M ANAGE ASSET FROM ITS CURRENT LOCATION check box will only be enabled if
the asset that is to be ingested is currently stored on an external device which is
accessible by the Xmedia Server.
Selecting this option can save space on the Xmedia Server by managing the asset
from its current location instead of making a copy. In most cases, this parameter
should not be enabled.
f. Assign the asset to one or more categories by selecting check boxes in the
C
ATEGORIES box. To create a new category, right-click in the C ATEGORIES box and
select A DD C ATEGORY from the pop-up menu.
g. Optional - Assign the file one or more keywords by selecting check boxes in the
K
EYWORDS box. (Keywords are used by Xplorer’s Search tool for searching and
retrieving assets.) To create a new keyword, right-click in the K EYWORDS box and
select A DD K EYWORD from the pop-up menu.
6. Click OK to save and exit the Ingest window.
