About Copy Responses
Copy responses are one of the most commonly used custom responses.
Important:
If the destination device already contains a file with the same name as the
one being copied, copy responses by default will not overwrite that file, and instead,
will add a numbered extension to the new file’s name. You can optionally use the
Overwrite setting to overwrite an existing file with the same name. An exception to this
is copying to ContentBase devices, where each file is placed in a unique folder.
To access the copy response settings:
1
Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Responses pane to create a
new response.
2
Choose Copy from the Response Action pop-up menu.
The Copy pane of the Response window contains the destination, transcode, and
destination metadata settings.
Destination Settings
You choose the device to copy assets to with the Destination pop-up menu. You can
also enter or choose a subfolder to copy the asset to.
Transcode Setting
You can choose any of the transcode settings assigned to the device you chose as the
destination. This is useful if you want to make sure all assets on this device use the
same codec.
Choose Copy.
