Actions in Business Rules

Table of Contents

Assign Content Permission Sets action Assign Layer action Assign Tagbox Items action Assign Tagbox Items in Layer action Assign Value action Deprecated Enqueue Tagging action (AI tagging) Enqueue Add Content Item to Shares Enqueue Create Embed action Enqueue Ownership action Enqueue Tagging action (AI Keywords, OCR, Object Detection) using Azure Get Number from Number Sequence action Produce Message to External System action Produce Notification action Unassign Content Permission Sets action Unassign Layer action Unassign Tagbox Items action

Some actions, including those related to Permission Sets, AI Tagging, and Layers, apply only to Content Items and cannot be used with List Items. However, available actions are not filtered according to the Trigger Point Document Type. This means you can configure a Business Rule for List Items that includes an action that isn't applicable to List Items. Fotoware Alto skips any actions that aren't applicable and continues with the valid actions in the Business Rule.

Assign Content Permission Sets action

Assigns Content Permission Sets to content, for example, to give suppliers access to specific content.

Assign Layer action

Assigns a specific layer to content when the conditions in the Business Rule are met. The layer must be available for the relevant content type, as configured using Available For in the layer settings.

Assign Tagbox Items action

Assigns a specific Tagbox item to a specified Tagbox field, for example to update copyright holders with creator information from Dublin Core. The layer containing the field must already be assigned to the content. If necessary, combine this action with Assign Layer and/or a Layer Assigned condition.

Assign Tagbox Items in Layer action

The AssignTagboxItemsinLayerAction assigns Tagbox Items from the defined cache to the corresponding Layer and the fields where the values can be added. This requires a cache of type SchemaTagboxFilterLookupNamedCacheConfiguration to be present. 

Assign Value action

Assigns a specified value to a field, for example to update the copyright source with creator information from Dublin Core. The layer containing the field must already be assigned to the content. If necessary, combine this action with Assign Layer and/or a Layer Assigned condition.

Deprecated Enqueue Tagging action (AI tagging)

This deprecated action adds Content Items to the queue for automatic tagging. Editors can configure the tagging model, language code for tags, and match value (confidence value for tag prediction) in a layer. When that layer is assigned to Content Items, Fotoware Business Rules uses these settings when sending the items to Azure  for processing.

For example, you can use the action to apply a layer for celebrity tagging or to flag potentially problematic content.

Enqueue Add Content Item to Shares

Automatically adds Content Items to specified shares when the conditions in a Business Rule are met. This can be useful for automatically distributing content via existing shares without requiring users to add content manually.

Enqueue Create Embed action

Automatically creates embeds for sharing content. This can be useful for integrations where a CMS requires an embed link, or for making content available through ads, social media, mailings, and other channels.

Enqueue Ownership action

The Enqueue Transfer Ownership Action transfers the ownership of a Content Item to the configured user of Fotoware Alto.

Enqueue Tagging action (AI Keywords, OCR, Object Detection) using Azure

Adds content to the queue for automatic tagging using Azure, including object detection and optical character recognition (OCR).

Get Number from Number Sequence action

Generates a number from a configured number sequence that can be used to create custom identifiers for content. These identifiers can provide a shorter, more convenient way for users and external systems to reference content.

Produce Message to External System action 

Produces a message that Service Providers can receive through the API and use for further processing. For example, Content Items with approved tags and copyright information can be sent to an agency for further graphical processing.

Produce Notification action

Displays a notification when the Business Rule conditions are met. For example, notifications can inform users about new images, Content Items with approved copyright information, or recalled Content Items.

Unassign Content Permission Sets action

Removes Content Permission Sets from Content Items, for example, to remove a supplier's access to specific content.

Unassign Layer action

Removes a specific layer from content when the Business Rule conditions are met.

Unassign Tagbox Items action

Removes a specific Tagbox item from a specified Tagbox field, for example, to remove flagged-content tags from public keywords. The layer containing the field and Tagbox item must already be assigned to the content. If necessary, combine this action with a Layer Assigned Condition.
