Removing the Reservation Properties by Using a Process
As an administrator, you can overrule the automatic deletion protection of reserved assets in MediaCentral Cloud UX. If you want to remove the reservation information from an asset or shotlist, you can trigger a Clear Reservation process. This process does the following:
• It removes the “reserved” flag from the asset (sets the value of the Reserved property to “false”).
• It clears the reservation date (deletes the value of the Reservation Date property).
The most efficient way is to search for assets using the Reserved property in the Search app, as described in the following procedure.
To clear the reservation properties:
1. Sign in to MediaCentral Cloud UX as an administrator.
2. Open the Search app.
3. Click the arrow of the Search pill and select More.
4. Do the following:
a. Click in the Filter field and type reserved.
b. Scroll down in the menu and select the Reserved property.
Reserved is set in the Search pill and a list of supported qualifiers opens.
5. Select True to search for assets for which the Reserved flag is set.
The system clears any existing search results from the results list and returns assets that match the criteria in the search results list.
6. (Optional) To apply an asset type-based filter, select the asset type asset.video or sequence.edl in the Filters sidebar.
7. Select the assets in the search results list.
8. Do one of the following:
Right-click and select Actions > Modify Multiple Assets > Clear Reservation.
Click the App Menu and select Actions > Modify Multiple Assets > Clear Reservation.
The Modify Multiple Assets process dialog box opens and shows the assets from which the reservation information is to be removed as attachments.
9. Provide a main title for the process.
10. Click OK.
The Modify Multiple Assets process dialog box is closed and the clearing process is triggered.
11. (Optional) Open the Process app and monitor the progress of the process Modify Multiple Assets.
