When set to True, subcategories will be created in the Xmedia Server
based on the directory subtree in the watch folder. For example, the
subdirectory Images>Sports might not already exist on the target XMS.
If you place an image file in this subdirectory in the watch folder, the
subfolder will be created in the XMS upon ingest.

If this setting is False, ingest will fail if the category does not exist.

not possible. As a policy, such assets always have Recall ID equal to
their all-numerical name.

Controls the Asset Expiry (the number of days the asset is kept on the

Asset Expiry setting supports three types of values: 0 means never

from the save date will be set; a fixed date (i.e. 2011-12-31), which must
be in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.
