Auto upload

Auto upload is an automated Delivery method that can be used at any point in a workflow. Each job will monitor a predefined location for files and ingest them into the system when found, for example a source media file. The file(s) will be linked to the same node as the job itself. You can use dynamic file patterns to match the right file, for example media for a specific part or episode. 

The fetched files can be given the same properties as when editing them in the Filezone, such as "Visible on Files tab". They can be set to Media files to be used in the online editor, or standard files for delivery. 

Please note: Auto upload jobs need to have status "In process". They can be paused or aborted by changing job status. When files are found and fetched from the selected location, the job in question will change status to Done, which will stop the task and open any child job(s) according to normal Plint logic.
