Elements Array

The contents of the Elements Array are the components of your workflow. The available elements include: Source, Transcode, Analyze, QC, Notify, Copy, Package, Folder Enum, Watchfolder, DPP Package, BIF Creator, and Script. You can have multiple versions of the same type of element. For example, you could have 2 copies of the Analyze and QC tasks -- one for checking your incoming data and one for checking your outgoing results. These could be checking completely different parameters. Each Element has a UID that uniquely identifies it in the workflow.

Name	Type	Description
uid	string	A unique ID for the task element. An example would be "source_file" or "transcode_task_1". This UID allows the task to be uniquely referenced by other parts of the job.
kind	enum               source transcode copy analyze qc notify package folder_enum watchfolder dpp_packager bif_creator script	The type of task element.
task	object	An object describing the generic task behavior, such as priority and number of retries.
payload	object	The payload describes the parameters of the specific element. Only one type of payload is allowed. The options are: source transcode copy analyze qc notify package folder_enum watchfolder dpp_packager bif_creator script
