Using the Smartjog Smart Folders & Distribution List features
The Smartjog portal allows users to create automation by easily setting up Smart Folders and assigning it to specific Distribution Lists. It simplifies media processes and automate both media files distribution and ingest tasks.
Smart folders are essentially folders that automatically organize, and filter files based on specific criteria, such as file type, keywords, or other metadata. The Smartjog friendly user interface allows you to efficiently create new folders, look for the option to enable smart filters or rules, and define your criteria, such as including only video files, adding the metadata, files containing certain keywords, or files that were recently added.
Distribution lists are groups of email addresses or users who will receive the shared files. The Smartjog portal allows you to easily create new groups or distribution lists by simply adding the relevant email addresses or users directly from your email platform or collaborative tool. A descriptive will be assigned to each Distribution List together with specific rules in line with the recipient requirement.
By utilizing smart folders and distribution lists, you can ensure that the right people receive the right content at the right time.
The Smartjog unique network architecture will also let you distribute your content (media files or folders) to multiple recipients simultaneously, using a single stream while preserving important bandwidth capacities, and thus allowing significant cost savings.
