Workflow of a Season & OTO level Catalog-

Each time you take action on a Catalog workflow, the Catalog’s status will change. These statuses will have downstream implications on how the Catalog gets into Broadview.

When a Catalog is first created, it will be in the “

  • In Progress” status in Rightsline.

In Progress also means the show is in Pre-Production status.

 

 

  • Ready for Scheduling OTT –

There are a few prerequisites that need to be met before taking this action:

a.     All required fields for the Catalog must be entered.

b.     After putting a Catalog in the “Ready for Scheduling” status, a backend process will pull the Catalog record into any downstream system (if the integration process is setup)

This status means the show is Ready for audiences within PBS .

 

 

  • Ready External Publish OTT- 

Once the program is ready to be published to audiences outside PBS. It takes 48 hours for a status to be changed to external publish.

 

 

  • Cancelled OTT –

You may want to cancel a Catalog for several reasons during the programming/ scheduling process.

a.     This action cannot be taken on Catalog unless the Season/Episode is in “Ready for Scheduling” status, or later down the workflow.

b.     Your Catalog record will be in the “Cancelled” status, but the record will continue to exist in Rightsline as an audit trail.

 

 

  • Complete –

You may want to complete a Catalog after all the necessary fields within the Catalog have been entered. This indicates that the record has been completed within the system.

a.     Please note that this action cannot be taken on Catalog unless the Season/Episode is in “Ready for Scheduling” status, or later down the workflow.

 

  •  Catalog Expired -

This is a new status where deal is active but a episode or a season get off air and is with or without rights .

 

 

  • Error –

If the Catalog status is set to an “Error” status, this means that there are required fields that still need to be entered for the Catalog(s) to be accepted into downstream system for scheduling. Please see data dictionary for list of required fields.

 

  • Send Metadata Alert-

This is a alert used by IT to send alert notifications to different roles in the group .
