Creative Forces Editorial module offers flexible ways of working for studios producing campaigns that need less rigid structuring. To adapt to changes in production on the fly, the Editorial module offers users the ability to reset and change data mid-production.
Overview
In the Editorial module, there are a few different methods of resetting data, each with strengths for specific use cases.
Reset Action | Use Case |
Reset to Step | Work must be redone up to or at a specific point in the Workflow. |
Complete Reset | Work must be entirely redone for all completed steps of the Workflow. |
Retrigger Delivery | The work does not need to be redone, but the completed assets need to be re-delivered to an alternate asset delivery location. |
In the following sections, we will cover each reset action and how to trigger them.
Reset to Step
Reset to Step is helpful in cases where a mistake or error has been made in a previous step, and assets need to go back through a specific step in the Workflow.
The Reset to Step option can be found under the three-dot menu to the right of a Workflow step. The step you select from will serve as the active step post-reset.
Complete Reset
A complete reset is necessary when changes to the Workflow, such as adding or removing a step, are needed after the Workflow has already been started.
In this situation, the assets will be reset to the first step in your Workflow, and all progress and data associated with any steps in the Workflow will be lost.
To completely reset your Workflow, navigate to the three-dot menu located to the right of the Workflow header. From the dropdown menu, select 'Complete Reset.'
Retrigger Delivery
In cases where work does not necessarily need to be redone, but the completed assets need to be re-delivered to an alternate asset delivery location, you can use the reset action on the Asset Delivery step to retrigger delivery of the assets.
Similar to the 'Reset to Step' reset action, you will need to access the 3-dot menu adjacent to the completed Asset Delivery step– then, hit 'Reset to Step.'
In the pop-up menu, there will be an optional confirmation box to 'Update Delivery Option.' Check it, then choose the alternate delivery location from the drop-down.
Instead of replacing with the alternate delivery location, use the Plus Icon to add it and re-deliver to both.
Or use the 3-dot menu to remove an alternate delivery location.
With both selections complete, hit 'Confirm Reset.' The Asset Delivery Workflow step will re-trigger, sending your assets to the newly selected destination.
🗣️ Tip: After retriggering the delivery, the page will refresh to show that the Asset Delivery step is now in progress. It will not reflect as having been completed until the page is refreshed or you navigate away and back to the Workflow tab.
