[JIM] Required Fields v.6.0

You can designate certain metadata values as "mandatory for recording" (required=”1” within the control tag). This indicates that these fields need to be chosen or filled out before initiating the recording process. This upgraded metadata workflow enhancement is expected to further enhance the effectiveness of particular workflows. Please find a sample below.

StartUpXML

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadataSet>
    <name>sample</name>
    <extension>xml</extension>
    <control resetAfterRecord="1" required="1">
        <name>quality</name>
        <label>Quality</label>
        <currentValue></currentValue>
        <type class="Selection" default="">
            <item>Low</item>
            <item>Medium</item>
            <item>High</item>
        </type>
    </control>
    <control resetAfterRecord="1" required="1">
        <name>customText</name>
        <label>Custom Text</label>
        <currentValue></currentValue>
        <type class="Text" default=""></type>
    </control>
</metadataSet>

Just Control

Inside Just Control, you'll notice that metadata fields like these are identified by a "*" symbol. Additionally, the channel viewer will show a "METADATA" warning message to indicate the absence of required metadata values.

After data has been entered or selected, you can initiate a recording.
