Automation Setup Assistant provides a simple way to modify
the default automations created by the installer as well as to
create new automations.

About Creating Automations
The Automations pane allows you to create, edit, and enable automated watchers
and subscriptions.
Watchers:
These are Final Cut Server items that you congure to monitor a device.
When an event occurs that it is watching for, such as when a media le is added to
the device or removed from it, the watcher executes a response such as copying the
media le to another location or sending an email.
Subscriptions:
These are Final Cut Server items that you congure to monitor
metadata changes. When an event occurs that the subscription is watching for, such
as when an asset has its current status changed to Ready for Review, the subscription
executes a response such as sending an email to the reviewer.
