Platform Updates
There are a bunch of new features within the Signiant Platform!
- Media Engine Indexing Status — IT Administrators with access to the Signiant Console can now see the status of Media Engine Indexing processes associated with storage profiles. This information, displayed on the Storage Profiles page, will help administrators understand whether indexing is completed, still in progress, or if there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Learn More.
- Jet View Only — Customers can now create users with only view-access to Jet Job information including routes and job statuses. These users can be external partners who need to monitor the status for their own workflows. Admins can control what job each user will see allowing for complete control and visibility. Learn More.
- Jet Open in Media Engine — Jet users can now view transferred files in Media Engine via the Completed tab in Jet Job Details to easily verify content on delivery. Learn More.

In Case You Missed It
In light of a few industry security incidents, the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) sent a good reminder to enable Multi-Factor Authentication to safeguard your files, in regards to remote access and authorization. MFA is included with all Signiant SaaS products and can be enabled natively on the Signiant Platform or via your organization’s SSO system.
To learn how to enable MFA on the Platform, please visit our help site or contact your CSM.
To learn more about Motion Picture Association Best Practices, follow the TPN. Signiant is proud to have completed TPN+ Gold Shield Assessments to ensure your files stay safe at rest and in transport.
Most media companies use a blend of storage solutions and while cloud storage opens new possibilities, it also creates new challenges. Traditional MAM systems aim to address these challenges, however, acting as a separate storage location necessitates ingesting assets to view or manage. Yikes.
Get unified visibility across all storage locations — no matter the complexity. Browse your storage locations more intuitively with Media Engine’s new directory navigation. Explore your storage hierarchy by Media Shuttle portal, folder, and subfolder to quickly understand and manage your asset’s organization without needing to switch between Media Shuttle and Media Engine.
