CAUTION: If this reference is incorrect, or the same volume is mounted
on another machine with a different name, the repository host machine

If desired, check the Create a Single File for Each Exported Asset box. If this
box is checked, Dyno PA adds an XML file describing the asset, including
metadata, for each asset exported.

Configuring a rule

Rules are created to automate the export or transfer of assets based on specified criteria.
For example, if a K2 Dyno Replay operator assigns a rating of three stars to an asset,
a K2 Dyno PA user can create a rule that searches for assets that meet that criteria,
and automatically export or transfer them to a repository.

Prerequisites:

At least one destination repository must have been added in the Dyno PA
application.

You must have a Dyno PA license (Elite or Pro) that allows configuring rules.

In addition, you need to have determined the following: transfer type, rule criteria,
and scope (the locations that you want Dyno PA to monitor for assets)

To configure a rule, follow these steps:

1. To configure a rule, right-click in the Rules pane and select

New

or the
