Easy to use and easy to check
A powerful tool as Workflow must be easy to use and easy to check, that is, it has to be clear how many assets are attached to a workflow and which ones are currently on a certain state. Searching assets and workflows is a simple task thanks to an extended search engine, where any combination is possible and a graphic workflow preview is available. Persons in charge of content check can list all the assets they need to control from the standard asset form search.
A workflow can be executed either manually by attaching it to one or more assets,or automatically in the following cases:
■ When you ingest
■ When you transfer a file via Etere Web
■ When you wish to retrieve from Etere Web
■ When a file is discovered by Etere Active Sync
■ When you publish a schedule
