Sending Review Emails to Administrator-Defined Reviewers
In this configuration, the Final Cut Server administrator manually enters each required
reviewer’s email address during setup. As a result, the Final Cut Server user does not see
the list of required reviewers and cannot manually enter email addresses in the “Required
reviewers” field of the Review & Approve pane.
When the email addresses have been entered manually by the administrator, email
notifications are automatically sent whenever the Status metadata field is set to Ready
for Review (and any time the asset is modified while it is set to Ready for Review).
This configuration is best if you know that the same set of reviewers should receive Review
and Approve email notifications for all assets. Also, this configuration does not require
you to enter required reviewer email addresses; in fact, if you enter email addresses, they
are ignored.
