Edit Inbox

Inboxes have multiple optional configurable settings:

Settings:

Require approval for uploads = assets uploaded to the inbox will appear in the projects inbox section and not go straight into the Media Pocket project. Assets can be approved or rejected from the projects inbox section
Individual metadata for uploads = if this is selected, uploaders must separately add metadata for each asset, otherwise the same metadata is automatically added to all uploaded assets
Message = A message to display on the inbox upload page that can be used to provide additional information or instructions to users uploading files via the inbox.
Add field group = custom fields from your custom field groups can be selected to be visible or visible and required for uploaded assets

Notifiable users:

Add User = Individual users can be added as notifiable users, meaning that they will get a notification when new assets are added to the inbox
Add User Group = Media Pocket User Groups can be can be added as notifiable users, meaning that alle users in the user group will get a notification when new assets are added to the inbox

Upload links:

Create new link = add a internal link title (will not be visible to uploaders) and a passcode that the uploaders will need to access the inbox
Active Links = shows active links. Links URLs and passcodes can be copied. Links can also be deleted, and that will revoke the links

Once set up, you can manage your settings via Edit > Edit Inbox or directly within the Inbox section.

Approving Assets from an Inbox

You can require approval for incoming assets before they are added to your Media Pocket project. Assets will arrive in a 'Lobby' area where you can review them.

Open the right project and open the Inbox from the right sidebar
Select the asset(s) and click either thumbs up (approved) or thumbs down (rejected).

You can also preview the asset first and approve or reject it from there.

If the asset is approved, it becomes part of the project at the level for which the Inbox was created.
If the asset is rejected, it is moved to the trash, from where it is automatically deleted after 14 days.
