Prerequisites are deployment and configuration of Curator metadata, Curator services, Curator Workflow Agent and your instance of Workfront.
Ensure that you have completed the steps listed in the Workfront Connector - Curator Configuration article, which will establish the requisite metadata and views as well as the client id for the website within Curator.
-
Create the Send To Workfront website
- In inetpub/wwwroot on an IIS server create a directory called SendToWorkfront
- Extract the files in the zip folder directly to that directory. You should get 7 files a mixture of png, js, JSON & HTML.
- Ensure that the Workfront Connector - Curator configuration is completed and copy the Id of the Send To Workfront client.
- Configure the website
In the website inetpub/wwwroot/SendToWorkfront directory locate and edit the config.json file- set gatewayUrl to the address of Curator Gateway e.g. https://curator.example.server/CuratorGateway.
- set clientId to the Id of the Send To Workfront client copied from Curator Gateway in step 2.
- set mediaStore to "WORKFRONT-UPDATE-PRODUCTION", the name of MediaStore you have created in the Process Engine portion of step 2.
- if required, change saveMetadata to false. The default is true - the data entered is also saved to Curator, which will keep the project view consistent for Curator and Workfront users
- do not alter these entries unless you were specifically advised and you have received a non-default connector configuration:
"viewName" and "SendToWorkfrontView" (this is the view set during Curator configuration)
"requiredMetadata": "WorkfrontId" (this is essential for the connection to the correct Workfront project)
- To test the page
- Start Clip Link. If Roles were set in the creation of the Curator client for Send To Workfront, log in as a user with permission to use Send To Workfront
- Locate a production created in Workfront (verify that it has a value for WorkfrontId metadata)
- Navigate to Open with > Send To Workfront (right-click the asset or find in the context menu within the asset's tile)
- Anew browser tab will appear:
- Alter some of the editable values, then click Submit.
- Verify that the Process Engine job "Plug-in - Send to GenericV4" has been submitted with sub-process "Transfer Asset to WORKFRONT-UPDATE-PRODUCTION for [username]" where username will refer to the user who executed the Send To Workfront.
- Start Clip Link. If Roles were set in the creation of the Curator client for Send To Workfront, log in as a user with permission to use Send To Workfront
