To manually analyze an asset:
1 In the client’s main window, select the asset to analyze.
2 Control-click the asset, then choose Analyze from the shortcut menu.
The asset is analyzed and new proxy files are created for it.
See “Analyze Preference Settings” on page 120 for more information on the Analyze
Preferences pane.
Cancel Any Asset Checkout or Lock
When a user checks out an asset, generally only that user can check the asset back in
or cancel the checkout. Similarly, if a user manually locks an asset, only that user can
unlock it.
The exception is if the logged in user has administration privileges; in that case, the
user can override the checkout or lock if necessary.
To override a checkout or lock on an asset:
1 Double-click the asset to open its detail window.
2 Click the Locks button to show the Locks pane.
3 Click the Cancel button.
Administrators can click
this button to clear this
lock.
Click Locks to see an
asset’s lock status.
