Prerequisites

Before using this feature, you must:

• Have previously configured your FTP/SFTP broadcast (see dedicated article)
• Have access to the Approval screen

Automatic Broadcast

Once a file is approved in the Approval screen, Grand Shooting automatically initiates its broadcast to the configured system. This broadcast concerns all types of files supported by the platform.

After successful broadcast, the file's status changes from Approved to Broadcasted. This information is visible:

• In the filters and statuses of the Approval screen
• In the catalog
• In reporting

Manual Rebroadcast

Rebroadcasting allows you to manually force a new file send to your information system. It is useful in several cases:

• Technical problem during the first broadcast
• Updating your reception system
• Need to resend a specific file

To rebroadcast a file:

• Access the Approval screen
• Select the Reference to rebroadcast
• Click on Rebroadcast

Rebroadcasting can be done file by file via the individual menu of Images mode.

Special Cases

Renaming Files

When you rename a file or change the position of files, Grand Shooting asks if the file should be rebroadcasted. You can choose to rebroadcast with the new name at the usual times or not to rebroadcast the files.

New File Versions

When a new version of a file is proposed:

• The file goes back to the status To be approved
• Once approved, it will be automatically broadcasted
• Its status will change to Broadcasted

Error Management

If Grand Shooting fails to broadcast a file (access problem, connection, etc.), the displayed status will be Broadcast Error instead of Broadcasted.

Grand Shooting automatically retries the broadcast at each new broadcast cycle. Therefore, the file may eventually be sent during a subsequent attempt. Administrators can be notified through the notification system.

Once broadcasted, Grand Shooting no longer has control over the file in your external information system. Deleting or refusing a file on Grand Shooting will not result in its deletion from the system where it was broadcasted.

Alternative: Using the API

For specific needs, you can also use our API to create your own mode of retrieving approved files.
