Asset External ID

October 30th, 2019 (Revision 1), print this page

In addition to having a Title, Brand, Series and Collection External ID, you can now give Assets their own External ID in Mediagenix On-Demand too. We have added this new field everywhere to give you even greater flexibility, specially for those of you whose asset identifiers are provided by an external system.

This note describes this change in full, and, as usual, you can contact support or your Technical Account Manager for further clarification.

This new Asset External ID follows the same behaviour as the other external IDs already present in Mediagenix On-Demand, what means that you can:

  1. Add the external ID to the asset manually in Mediagenix On-Demand.
  2. Import/export our Excel template, that now contains a new column called Asset External ID right next to Asset name.
  3. Search by it in the Catalogue and the title linked to it will pop up!

On top of it, we have added a new column (version_external_id) in the Versions table in Reporter. You can start including it in your SQL queries straight away!

Check it out in our updated Reporter Entity Relationship Diagram.

We hope this makes your life easier! If you have any question, please don’t doubt in contacting us!
