Next meeting thursday the 30th
Hey Dieneke,
I haven't been able to put this together yet, and in fact, I need to postpone our meetings until the beginning of August. We've had to pivot our priorities and my attention needs to be elsewhere until August.
I apologize for this, but let's resume the meeting in August.
Please let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns.
Hey Dieneke,
I don't have that information yet. The reason I haven't addressed it yet is because we're still dealing with some server issues on our end. Our IT Department recently migrated our Mac server (the one that holds these assets) to a PC server. However, we've found a lot of corrupt or missing directories that they are having to fix. My direct supervisor asked me to not spend any time on our DAM until this is done, and unfortunately I don't have an ETA for when our IT Department will finalize the recovery. To put it into perspective, we've been waiting 3-4 months already.
At this point, we're using EnterMedia as a search engine mostly. We search for the files, and then revert to our server to access them. This works well for us right now. However, once our new server is up and running, that's when we'll want to hit the ground running re-organizing our assets. That is when these advancements will be useful.
It might be better to hold off meeting until our IT department has finished their recovery? I want to avoid us doing any development work until our server is back up, reliable, and ready to be sorted through.
TODO: Finish Prior media scan on new Alfred instance and use it for searching
Release new version if Desktop App into the Apple Play Store Alfred check invalid Folder names for : skip chars Alfred Import UI needs indicator panel/div that says what its downloading

Couple notes about the IDs on Alfred, we may want to start a Post here with all this information.
pub-item -> ID (00-dash its owned, none 00- other distr) "internal sku" it splited in Pub# and Item columns too. Company field also used -zz-Distributed are external Publishers (Ignore zz- folders for now) -Numeric Items goes to numeric folders 000-xxx (so 24 "0024" will be at 00000-09999/000-0999/24, 4229 is 00000-09999/4000-4999/4229) -Alpha numeric Items goes to Warner-X (so H1 will be at Warner-H/H1)

Hey Dieneke!
I worked with our IT contractor recently on this. They should have connected the account. Please let me know if it's still not working.
Thanks!
For dropbox
Hello Travis, we found that the download API needs a team_member_id, there are 2 options, either you add permissions to the "members.read" scope or you can provide an specific team_member_id that will be used for downloading.
Alfred's IT contact: brian.starr@velonexit.com
Hello Travis, we were able to figure it out about the missing permission in the API connection, I updated the B instance so we are ready for Brian clicking again the connect button. He can do it in his own, we don't need to be present, but let us know when he is able to do it so we can continue with the process. Thank you!
Hi Travis, Here is our ongoing agenda items:
- Improve script for assigning standard paths on Products.
- Legacy Category importing screen

- Setup Desktop download/upload/open (only) for products
- Confirm Dropbox project settings with Brian
- Setup any extra relationships between products. Add Product Type field?
- Improve CSV importing for more detailed data
Digital Sheet Music data from Alfred. These are publications that we sell digital PDFs for via Alfred.com. Look for “Ref_SKU” as the parent printed publication.
FTP site: ftp1.alfred.com User: dealer PW: dealerftp
Full catalog file: MR_Upload_Dealer_Full.txt You’ll see a value of “SKU” in this data. That is the child SKU of the Parent
Hi Travis, We got Dropbox to start downloading! We used a simpler login approach and we already got at least 1TB. Hopefully Dropbox does not block us for syncing too much. :)
