Chapter 8 Using Status Metadata in the Final Cut Server Workflow 147
Important: Your Final Cut Server administrator must configure this feature before it
works as described in this section.
Using the Review and Approve Feature
When your Final Cut Server administrator installed Final Cut Server, he or she set up the
Review and Approve feature to meet your organization’s needs. The options the
administrator could configure included writing the text of the email, making editor’s
comments (which are entered in the Review & Approve pane) and other metadata
appear in the body of the notification email, and more.
The administrator also chooses one of three ways to specify who is defined as a
required reviewer and thus receives Review and Approve emails. Emails can go to an
administrator-defined recipient list, emails can go to the addresses that the user
manually enters in the “Required reviewers” field, or emails can go to both the
administrator-defined recipient list and any addresses manually entered in the
“Required reviewers” field by the user.
Note: These examples show ways for you to manually enter email addresses.
Depending on how your Final Cut Server system has been configured, your
administrator can create a pop-up menu that you can use to assign email addresses.
For more information, contact your Final Cut Server administrator.
Important: It is difficult for a Final Cut Server client user to discern if the Review and
Approve feature has been set up, and if it has been, to discern which of these three
approaches your Final Cut Server system uses. Your Final Cut Server administrator
should be your first point of contact for questions about using the Review and Approve
feature with your Final Cut Server system.
