Configuring E-Mail Options
Starting with MediaCentral UX v2.6, an administrator has the ability to customize an e-mail message with the following options:
• Disable the inclusion of an asset link
If a MediaCentral UX user sends a message with an asset through the Messages pane to an offline user (someone not signed in to MediaCentral UX), and e-mail forwarding is enabled, an e-mail with a link to the asset is sent to the offline user.
If the recipient clicks on the link, the recipient’s default web browser is launched. This link will not work correctly if the default web browser is not supported by MediaCentral UX (for example, Internet Explorer is not currently supported). The administrator can select an option to remove the link from the e-mail message.
• Add a custom default header and footer to the message.
The administrator can add default text that appears on all e-mail messages sent from the MCS server if the server is configured with e-mail forwarding. You can add text for a header, text for a footer, or both. This is useful if you select the option “Don’t include asset links in email.” For example,
Header: You have received a MediaCentral UX message.
User message: Here’s the link I was telling you about. (This link is removed from the e-mail message.)
Footer: To access this message, open the message pane in MediaCentral UX.
To disable the inclusion of an asset link:
1. Sign in to MediaCentral UX as an administrator.
2. Select System Settings from the Layout selector.
The System Settings layout opens.
3. In the Settings pane select Messages & Sharing.
The Details pane displays the settings in that group.
4. In the Email Options section, select the check box “Don’t include asset links in email.”
5. Click Apply
To add a custom heater or footer:
1. In the Email Options section, type the information you want in the “Message header” text box, the “Message footer” text box, or both.
2. Click Apply.
