Create rendition links

You can enable the store output feature to create rendition links for a task. In order for the rendition to appear in the Entity renditions component, you must configure that component for the corresponding entity definition (such as M.Asset).

To create rendition links:

With the task selected on the visual canvas, click the Outputs tab.
Turn on the Store output switch. This enables the download and display of assets through a rendition link.

In the Output section, fill out the parameters.

Parameter	Description	Mandatory
Output type	Format of the output. Only available for processing tasks of type Run external web task.	Yes
Output name	Name of the output.	No
Property	Extract clipping path tasks only have this parameter.	Yes
Alternative files	Makes the renditions sticky, meaning they are neither regenerated upon refresh, nor created upon upload of an alternative file or thumbnail.	No

Important

Ensure the Convert image task name in the Parameters tab matches the output name in the Outputs tab.

Note

For Extract video indexer data tasks, you need to configure two outputs, one for the metadata and one for the storyboard.

Click New link to create a rendition link, then fill out the new link parameters.

Parameter	Description	Mandatory
Name	Name of the new link. Rendition link names must be alphanumeric, and can contain periods, underscores, and hyphens, but not spaces or other special characters.	Yes
Label	Label of the new link, shown in the user interface.	Yes
Intent	Intended use for the rendition link. If set to None, downloads are not recorded in the reporting logs.	Yes
Link expiration	Period of time before the link expires.	Yes
Required permissions	Permissions required to see and access the link.	No
Gateway enable watermark	Turns on gateway link watermarking.	No
Enable watermark	Turns on delivery link watermarking.	No
Watermarks	A list of any watermarks to be applied to the rendition link.	No
Omit watermark permission	Omits watermarking on the link	No
Intended area of use	The areas in which the link can be used.	No
Required gateway permissions	Permissions a user needs to access the rendition through a gateway link.	No
Description	Link description.	No
Processing configuration	Used to store the conversion settings of a custom download. Do not manually update this field.	No
Filename	Name of the rendition file. You can write a combination of plain text and metadata variables. Each variable, which is written inside curly braces, must reference the name of either a single-line string property or an option list property that does not have multiple values, such as the original filename or the asset title. For example, {filename}-{title} results in a file called image.jpg-palagio. However, because an asset's Description is a multi-line value, using {filename}-{description} causes the second variable to be treated as literal text, resulting in a file called image.jpg-{description}. Note System properties, such as `id`, are not supported. If needed, you can copy the value to a custom property using a trigger or a script to achieve a similar functionality.	No
Asset media	Asset media type of the new rendition link.	No

Click Save.

Important

By default, automatic reprocessing of renditions is disabled. To apply a new processing flow to the renditions of existing assets, you must first refresh those renditions.
