Displaying and Editing User Task Data
You can view and edit task metadata in the Task Details area. Which metadata fields are shown and can be edited depends on the configuration of the task template in MediaCentral Asset Management Changes are automatically saved when you position the cursor outside the edited field or you select a legal list, master data or thesaurus value.
A task template might include mandatory fields. Starting with version 2022.12, you can leave them unpopulated as long as you only update the task metadata. But you need to fill mandatory fields before you apply actions to the task. The check on populated mandatory fields is only ignored when a Cancel action is applied or the task is delegated.
To display and edit the task metadata:
1. Select a task in the Task List.
The Task Details area shows the metadata fields that are configured for the task.
2. Click in a metadata field and type or edit the value.
You can use standard keyboard shortcuts when editing a text field:
- Press Ctrl+A to select the entire text.
- Select the text and press Ctrl+X to cut the text.
- Select the text and press Ctrl+C to copy the text.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste copied text.
- Select the text and press the Del or Backspace key to delete the text.
While the cursor is positioned in a metadata field and you have not saved your changes (except legal list, thesaurus):
- Press Ctrl+Z to undo your last input (repeatedly).
- Press Ctrl+Y to redo your last action.
When editing a legal list or thesaurus data field:
- Press Esc to keep the already selected value.
3. To save your changes, click outside the metadata field.
As long as the cursor is positioned in the metadata field, you can also click the Save button.
