Adding and Editing User Task Attachments
 
When you create a process, you attach at least one asset to it. If a user task results from the process, you can edit the attachment within the context of the user task: You can view the attached asset, remove the asset from the user task, or add new assets in the Tasks pane. Which and how many assets can be added depends on the configuration of the process to which the task belongs in Interplay MAM.
To add media to a task and view the attached asset:
1. Select a task in the Task List.
The Task Details area shows the number of attached assets in the header area, and attached assets as “asset cards” in the Attachments area.
2. If want to view an media asset attached to the task, double-click the head frame in the Attachments area.
The asset (video or audio clip, or basic sequence) opens in the Media pane.
3. If you want to add a media asset to the task, do one of the following:
*Click one or several assets in the Assets pane and drag them to the Attachments area of the task.
*Click one or several assets in the Search pane and drag them to the Attachments area of the task.
*Click one or several assets in the Associations pane and drag them to the Attachments area of the task.
*Click the asset displayed in the Media viewer in Asset mode and drag it to the Attachments area of the task.
A head frame of the video asset or a clip icon of an audio asset is displayed in the Attachments area, along with metadata describing the asset. If you dragged an invalid asset type, a message is displayed and the asset is not attached.
When you apply an action to the task, for example, you click the Approve or Send Request button, the range of allowed attachments is checked. If the number of attached assets violates the configured limit, a corresponding message is displayed.
To add an attached asset to a folder in the Assets pane:
1. Select a task in the Task List.
2. Select the attached asset in the assets area, drag it to the name or icon of the folder into which you want to paste the asset reference, and release the mouse button.
Valid asset references are pasted into the folder, and references to assets that are not allowed as contents of the folder are not pasted. If there is already a reference to an asset with the same identifier in the folder, a message is displayed and the asset is not pasted. For more information, see Adding Assets to a Folder.
To use an attached asset to create an association:
1. Select a task in the Task List.
2. Select the attached asset in the assets area, drag it to the associations of the desired association type in the Associations pane, and release the mouse button. For more information, see Creating Associations.
