What to do, what to do? Phase I (complete) Site specific asset paths Auto assign Project Folder based on Site and Category selection Auto select asset type based on file extension Phase II (in progress) 6800 “runaway” assets identified and being returned to “parents” Assets with no Asset Permission Category but a valid Asset Project Assets with an Asset Permission Category but assigned to the “CDA Assets” Project Phase III Update existing assets and references to them to category specific paths
Phase III - Sticking Points Locating asset references in content Using pattern matching, update Title, Description, URL and Body fields Moving Asset file on server Agency specific location Maintain backwards compatibility for links in documents Simultaneously update: Content Record Record for each asset referenced in the content Vignette object with new path Physical docroot path on server
