Setting Options for Deletion

The next time a user logs into Interplay Access and opens the Delete dialog box, the options
are active or inactive, depending on the current settings in the Delete Behavior view of the
Interplay Administrator.
Activating the Option to Delete Referenced Assets
Starting with Interplay Access v2.3, you cannot delete referenced assets (including rendered
effects) without deleting the sequence that references them (see “Restricted Deletion of
Referenced Assets” in the Interplay Access User’s Guide).
This feature was introduced to prevent deletion of referenced assets that were still in use, and
because most customers prefer keeping consistency between a sequence and its referenced
assets. However, you can activate an option to allow deletion of referenced assets and media
without needing to delete the referencing sequence by editing or creating a configuration file for
Interplay Access.

By activating this option, it is possible to delete assets that are still in use by a sequence. If
the deleted assets are moved to the Orphan Clips folder, media might be unintentionally
deleted, resulting in offline media.
To activate the option to delete referenced assets on a Windows system, do one of the
following:
t On an Interplay Access client system, check if the following file exists:
%APPDATA%\Avid\Workgroup\configuration.xml
%APPDATA% is a Windows environment variable that resolves to the application data
folder of the current user. To open the folder, enter %APPDATA%\Avid\Workgroup in the
address bar of a Windows Explorer and press Enter.
If the file exists, open the file in Notepad and insert the following line between the tags
<bindings> and <\bindings>:
<binding
name="com.avid.workgroup.abplugins.commands.allowRefAssetDelete">
<boolean>true</boolean> </binding>
