Using E-Mail Forwarding
If e-mail forwarding has been enabled for your workgroup and you have enabled e-mail forwarding to your personal e-mail account, you can receive messages sent from MediaCentral UX users when you are not logged in to MediaCentral UX. E-mail forwarding sends messages to your e-mail account with the subject line, “MediaCentral UX Message: [sender name].”
If the message includes a media asset, the forwarded e-mail provides you with a link to the asset in MediaCentral UX. You can open this link only if your operating system browser is supported by MediaCentral UX (Internet Explorer is not currently supported).
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. This option removes the asset link to prevent a problem opening the link in an unsupported browser. You can open the link when you view the message in MediaCentral UX.
• Add a custom default header and footer to the message. This option can be especially useful if the administrator disables inclusion of an asset link. In this case, the administrator can add default text informing users that the link has been removed from the message.

Configuring E-Mail Options.
To view an asset included in a forwarded e-mail:
2. Click the URL link included in the message.
Your browser opens and displays the MediaCentral UX sign-in screen.
3. Type your user name and password.
4. Click Sign In, or press Enter or Return (Macintosh).
After a few moments, the MediaCentral UX application opens and displays the asset in the Media pane. The asset is also highlighted in the Asset pane.
