Context Menu Items

Definition

Different combinations are possible. A media manager from the post production department can have a different set of functions per video than a Browse User from the archive functions per video than a Browse User from the archive.

Select the corresponding Group or Type and assign functions via the check boxes below.

Endpoints

A user can open different external links via the context menu. Here you can define which ones are available.

Provide:

• A label

• The URL which will be opened

  • Add in curly brackets additional Parameter

    • {title} - metadata field via technical name of metadata

      • every metadata can be added by putting the technical name into curly brackets {}

    • {itemID} - ITEM-VX-4711 as example

    • {collectionId} - COLLECTION-VX-4711 as example

• Icon: Upload a custom SVG

• Differentiate if displayed for certain media types / items or collections

Multi Select

Above not only works for single selection but also can create a deeplink on multi selected items while combining the different parameters. An example would be:

URL Configuration:

https://www.RootURL.com/results?Title={title}&itemId={itemId}

Results in:
https://www.RootURL.com/results?Title=FirstItemsTitle&itemId=ITEM-VX-2956&Title=SecondItemsTitle&itemId=ITEM-VX-2955

for 2 items being selected for the deeplink creation.

Please note that the option exists for Items as well as Collections but does not allow to mix a multi selection of items and collections. Dependent on configuration and user selection only one object type will be considered for building the deeplink.
