Enabling this feature will enable one to show copyright messages upon the download of one or more assets (custom quality downloads included).

Specifically, you get the option to control the following:

  • Who gets to see the copyright disclaimer

  • Make copyright presets, and assign them to multiple assets quickly

  • Make custom copyright messages for individual assets (which will override the copyright presets)

How to set up predefined messages (aka. preset messages)

First of all, you need to make at least one new metadata field, wherein you write the preset message(s) that you want to use in your system. This metadata field ; a predefined or a custom message. Please skip this part, if you only want custom copyright messages.

The field for predefined messages, can be of the metadata types: string, note, or combovalue. It’s advised that you go with combovalue, as this allows for messages to be reused and updated or deleted easily.

If you choose instead choose to use node or string, you can skip the next part, as it only pertains to combovalue.
