The
button will be visible in the Metadata widget of the Director
interface. And when this button is clicked, workflows that have been
configured will be triggered.
Client:
Client button types are not connected to workflows. Instead Client-side
button click can execute any JavaScript code that is provided in the
script input area while creating this button. With the eMAM client-side
button and a little bit of Java scripting, eMAM gives you the ability to
interact with your desktop applications running in your MAC/PC client
workstation directly from eMAM Director. The client-side button can pass
your media metadata to another application. The system, basic, custom
and embedded metadata values can be entered in the dropdown field. This
will a global value representing the value associated with any asset.
When
the button is generated in the Metadata widget, these metadata values
will be replaced with the corresponding asset metadata values of the
loading asset. And when this button is clicked, the JavaScript code with
the corresponding asset metadata values will be executed. This button
can be used to make the system play with the asset data and JavaScript
as the user pleases. For e.g. It can be used to save the metadata of an
asset in a text format, or open an original asset in a separate window,
or make an asset open in a separate application depending on the user’s
ability to play with JavaScript.
o Schedule: Use Schedule Metadata field type to schedule triggers for a workflow at a specific date and time.
Schedule
metadata field is visible under a Metadata Group in the Metadata widget
where you can set the time and date for workflow trigger.
