I
The installer creates default watchers and subscriptions based on the customer profile
you selected. Following are two examples:
 Media to Library [Copy] watcher: This file system watcher monitors the Watchers
device’s Media folder (created by the installer) and automatically copies any new
assets in it to the Library device with no conversion.
 Assets Ready for Review [Email] subscription: This metadata subscription monitors all
assets in the catalog and sends an email whenever any of the assets have their
metadata changed to the Ready for Review state. This subscription (and any others
using email responses) uses the email addresses you enter or email addresses
entered as an asset’s required reviewers.
You can modify or delete the default automations or create new ones using
Automation Setup Assistant. You can control whether these automations are active or
not with their On checkboxes.
See Chapter 6, “
Using Automation Setup Assistant,” on page 77 for detailed information
on editing these automations and creating new ones.
Backup Pane Settings
The Backup pane allows you to create backup files containing all of the information from
your Final Cut Server catalog, including preferences and system configuration information.
See Chapter 7, “
Backing Up Final Cut Server,” on page 91 for information on using the
Backup pane.
