Add Profile
Opens the “Add new profile” dialog to define the following parameters. The only difference between the profile dialogs in HK and IO is that there is no metadata set assignment in HK.
Profile Name:
Free text field for defining the name of the profile.
Stream Type:
Selection box for defining the stream type to be used in the profile. Selecting a type filters the available streams by type.
Stream Name:
Dropdown menu to select the desired stream. All previously created streams under the menu item "Streams" are displayed here and can be selected.
Priority Assignment:
Dropdown menu to select the desired priority for the profile. By default, the priority is set to 5 (middle) and can be set in the range of 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest and 10 being the lowest priority. The priority defines the rank of the job in relation to the render nodes stored in the profile. Example: If there are two profiles and all existing render nodes are entered in both profiles, all jobs that were created with a profile that has a higher priority are processed preferentially.
Group Assignment:
Dropdown menu to select the desired group (s). All previously created groups under the menu item "User" are displayed here and can be selected. If one or more groups are selected, the profile is available only to this group.
Render Node Assignment:
Free text field for defining the name of the render node (s) which should process the jobs created with this profile. There are different ways to define this render nodes:
Processed by the local workstation: To automatically assign every job to the user that has created that job, it is possible to use the wildcard %user.name%. This wildcard is always automatically replaced by the username and thus transferred from the server to the workstation via the client connector.
Processed by a dedicated user/render node: To assign a job to a specific user or a dedicated render node, regardless of whether or not he has created the job, the name of the user can be entered here. - Example: “User1” or “rendernode 1”
Processed by one user of a group: To assign a job to multiple users or render nodes, regardless of whether or not he has created the job, the names of all users can be entered here. The next available user will automatically start to process the job. The Usernames need to added separated by a comma without any blank space (Example1). Alternatively it is is possible to assign the jobs to a group of users that start with dedicated letters (Example2) o Example: User1,User2,User3,rendernode1,rendernode2 o Example”: User* or render*
Processed by any available user: Leave this filed blank
Save/Cancel Button:
“Save” closes the dialog and saves the profile. “Cancel" or “X” closes the dialog without saving.
