CreativeSafe - Uploader
Controlled file delivery to your CreativeSafe Suite server
Uploader offers a way for off-site staff and contractors to deliver files to your CreativeSafe environment without having direct access to your server.
Feature Overview
While your customers, contractors and other off-site personnel may not require daily access to your CreativeSafe server, having the ability to upload deliverables exactly where you want them can be very convenient for them—and for you. As a stand-alone desktop application, the Uploader provides an efficient drag-and-drop mechanism for delivering files and folders to a CreativeSafe server within predetermined parameters, and notifying you at the same time.
Customize Uploader for Every User
Every Uploader application is customized to an individual user’s requirements. By selecting from different configuration options within the application, you specify exactly how the application will perform.
Enter Metadata
Many contractors are asked to provide specific metadata when delivering files for a project, such as copyright information, byline or comments about an asset.
The Uploader provides a simple way to include metadata with every file. Optionally, you can configure a user’s permissions to require that metadata be entered for any file delivered to the CreativeSafe server. When a user attempts to upload a file that does not contain the required metadata, the Uploader application displays a window, shown at right, asking that metadata be provided.
Because metadata requirements can change within your organization, Uploader applications can be configured to automatically reflect these changes so off-site Uploader users are sure to stay current with their unique metadata requirements.
Offer Simple, Drag-and-Drop File Delivery
For off-site staff, the Uploader application is a simple and efficient means of delivering files directly to a CreativeSafe Suite server by simply dragging and dropping them to a preconfigured desktop icon.
Automatic email notification alerts those who need to be updated with the current status of deliverables. It couldn’t be easier than that.
