Chapter 3 Organizing and Searching the Final Cut Server Catalog 69
Tracking the Status of an Asset or Production with Metadata
Final Cut Server comes with several default Smart Searches and metadata sets that you
can use to determine the status of an asset. The Status metadata set, for example, was
designed to help you track the status of assets and productions in Final Cut Server.
Assets and productions have a slightly different set of Status metadata fields.
For more information about tracking the status of assets and productions, see “Using
Status Metadata to Track Assets and Productions” on page 141.
Important: Your Final Cut Server administrator may have modified the Status or other
metadata available for assets or productions to meet the needs of your organization’s
workflow. If you have questions about the metadata available on an asset, contact your
Final Cut Server administrator.
As your work progresses, you can search for assets that are in a particular phase of your
workflow by searching for their status or other metadata. Final Cut Server comes with
several pre-configured Smart Searches that make it easy for you to find recently-modified
assets or assets marked with the Status metadata field set to Ready for Review.
