Media Locations

Media files (images and videos) for work instructions can be configured in two locations within Tascus:

Global Media Directory

If a sequence is not organised within a project, this is the default location where media files are located.

Settings > System Setup > Customisation > Directories

This is a Global setting, so you will have to check 'Edit Globals' to edit this.

Project Media Directory

If using a sequence within a Tascus project, the media directory is specified within the project.

Sequence Editor > Edit Projects > Media Directory

Media Relative Paths

With either of these media directories, you are setting the parent folder, within which all media is organised.

When you select media for a work instruction, Tascus is saving the relative path to the media within the media folder.

This means if you need to move media to a new location or server, you only need to update the Media Folder, all work instructions should be unaffected.

Example

Media folder is

Z:\Tascus Media

Work Instruction is

Assembly \ Stage 1 \ Demo Image.jpg

When the sequence runs, Tascus builds the full path by merging these two parts together into:

Z:\Tascus Media \ Assembly \ Stage 1 \ Demo Image.jpg
