The Associations Pane
352
The Interplay MAM default data model generally supports associations between assets of the
same class (for example, between two videos) and between different classes (for example,
between video and audio, or between video and basic sequence). The classes associated are
determined by the underlying data model. The data model also determines the icons and labels
that are used for the associations.
Associations can be created automatically by the system or manually in Interplay MAM Desktop
and MediaCentral UX. Which associations can be edited and created manually depends on the
system configuration. Once set, the references can be used in MediaCentral UX to navigate
between associated assets.

In a default configuration, hierarchical associations are automatically created between assets in
the following hierarchy lines: Series > Season > Episode > Episode Version, Commercial >
Commercial Version, and Feature > Feature Version. You cannot create or delete associations
for assets of these asset classes in the Associations pane.
The Associations Pane
The Associations pane is used to show you all assets that are associated with the selected asset.
You can review, change, and delete the displayed associations and navigate and browse the
associated assets. The following illustration shows several examples of what you might
encounter when displaying associations in the Associations pane.
