Maintaining Reserved Asset Management Assets and Shotlists
Starting with version 2020.9, assets and shotlists can be temporarily “reserved.” A reserved asset or shotlist cannot be deleted nor can its essences or locations be deleted. Deletion protection is triggered when a user creates or updates an Asset Management shotlists (EDL): For the shotlist and all its clips reservation properties (a RESERVED flag and RESERVATION date) are set. The reservation properties expire after a configured time span (default: 24 hours) and are automatically removed.
In general, assets can be deleted if the RESERVED flag is not set. If the RESERVED flag is set, any deletion request will be rejected.
As an administrator, you can maintain reserved assets and reserve assets manually in MediaCentral Cloud UX.
• You can remove the reservation information from assets and shotlists by triggering a Clear Reservation process from the Browse or Search app.
• You can modify the Reservation Date and Reserved properties for individual assets and shotlists in the Asset Editor’s Metadata tab. In doing so, you can modify the reservation properties of reserved assets but also set the properties for assets that are not reserved yet.
