When Studio Server is integrated with Assets Server it is important that metadata information is shared between the two systems so that information about how and where files are used in Studio Server can be verified and searched on.
For this purpose, various metadata fields are mapped, thereby making it possible for metadata changes in Assets Server to appear in Studio Server and the other way round.
This article provides an overview of the fields that are mapped.
Fields that are mapped when importing assets from Studio Server
The following table shows which fields are mapped and if they are read from Assets Server and written back to Assets Server.

1 Content Source users must have edit permissions in Assets Server for all fields that are marked as 'write'.
2 Changing the name of a file in Studio Server will rename the file in Assets Server. The file extension will not be changed.
3 The MIME type is mapped to the corresponding MIME type Studio Server format.
4 Copyright marked is derived from the copyright field in Assets Server.
Fields that are mapped when linking an asset
When an asset is linked to Studio Server (for example by dragging it onto an InDesign layout that is stored in Studio Server), the following Assets Server fields are mapped to corresponding Studio Server fields.
The Assets Server fields are read-only and are updated automatically when the data in Studio Server changes.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Archived from Studio Internal name: |
A boolean value that represents if an asset is archived from Studio Server. |
Category Internal name: |
The name of the Category in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Category ID Internal name: |
The ID of the Category in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Created in Studio Internal name: |
The date and time when the link was created. |
Studio Server creator Internal name: |
The Studio Server user who created the link. |
Studio Server ID Internal name: |
The object ID of the asset in Studio Server. |
Studio System ID Internal name: |
The GUID of the Studio Server where this asset is used.1 |
Modified in Studio Internal name: |
The date and time when the metadata was modified. |
Modified in Studio by Internal name: |
The Studio Server user who modified the metadata. |
Publication Internal name: |
The name of the Publication (Brand) in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Publication ID Internal name: |
The ID of the Publication (Brand) in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Used in Studio Internal name: |
A boolean value that represents if an asset is used in Studio Server. |
1 An asset can only be used on one Studio Server at a time.
Fields that are mapped when placing an asset
When a linked asset is placed on a layout, various relations are established between the asset and the layout and the publication of which the layout is part.
The following fields are populated during this process.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Channel Internal name: sceChannel |
The name of the Publication Channel in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Channel ID Internal name: sceChannelId |
The ID of the Publication Channel in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Edition Internal name: sceEdition |
The name of the Edition in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Edition ID Internal name: sceEditionId |
The ID of the Edition in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Studio relations Internal name: sceRelations |
A JSON structure with relations of this asset as shadow object to Studio Server entities such as layout, Category, Publication Channel, Issue, page and On pasteboard.1 |
Issue Internal name: |
The name of the I issue in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Issue ID Internal name: sceIssueId |
The ID of the Issue in Studio Server that the asset belongs to. |
Layout Internal name: sceLayout |
The name of the layout on which the asset is placed. |
Layout ID Internal name: sceLayoutId |
The ID of the layout on which the asset is placed. |
Page Internal name: |
The page number of the page on which the asset is placed. |
Placed on page Internal name: scePlaced |
A boolean value that represents if an asset is placed on a page of an InDesign layout stored in Studio Server. |
1 The equally named fields in this table are based on this JSON structure.
Studio Server fields without mapping
The Studio Server metadata property 'State" is deliberately not mapped because it is Studio Server specific and will be stored in Assets Server when archiving files from Studio Server to Assets Server.
Configuring field mapping
Configuring the mapping between fields (either standard fields or custom fields) can be done by following the steps described in Configuring the mapping of metadata fields between Studio Server and Assets Server.
Note: We do not recommend to make changes to the mapping between standard fields but advise to create custom fields instead and to configure the mapping between that custom field and another field.
