With the help of watchfolders, assets can be processed automatically via HIO streams. Watchfolders can be created, edited, deleted and activated / deactivated in the watchfolder menu. This menu item defines how the watchfolder monitored by Helmut should behave. The following information and functionalities are available.
Displays the name of the watch folder. This is not the name of the storage-level folder.
Displays the full path to the storage-level folder monitored by Helmut.
Displays the name of the HelmutIO profile that will be used for the watch folder and run for each job.
If this switch is activated, all subfolders of the watch folder are also recursively monitored.
Defines the time interval in seconds within which the folder is monitored.
Defines the number of verified asset scans for their growth. For example, a three-time growth check, with a defined check interval of 30 seconds, will take at least 90 seconds to pass a detected asset as a job to the queue.
Allows to turn on and off the watch folder monitoring.
Allows to edit and delete the monitoring of a watch folder.
