Asset selection for schedulings

To-date, when creating an archive Scheduling for a Title in Mediagenix On-Demand the most recent Asset was automatically selected for the Scheduling.

To give you flexibility in how you manage your VoD workflow with Mediagenix On-Demand, a new configuration option is available that results in no Asset being selected when Schedulings are created. This provides you with complete control over which Asset is selected for a Scheduling. Please note that this change does not affect catch-up Schedulings.

This note describes what has changed in full, and as usual you can contact support or your technical account manager for further clarification; please note that automatic Asset selection is enabled by default.

The Asset drop-down will show all of the Assets for the Title, along with the “Create a new asset…” option. When you have selected, or created, an Asset it is locked to the Scheduling:

If a new Asset is subsequently created for the Title it will not automatically change which Asset is selected for the Scheduling.
