AXR (Asset Cross References) is the automatic detection of usage and cross-references of assets within Cumulus. Cumulus is able to detect links and placed assets in compound documents such as Adobe InDesign, EPS and Illustrator (version 8, 9) as well as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents.
AXR requires that the filter employed for cataloging must support AXR (e.g. Compound Document, EPS and InDesign filters). AXR works for assets that are managed by the same catalog only.
With a standard Workgroup installation the referenced assets must be cataloged before Cumulus can detect them in a compound document. The existence of the field Related Sub Assets is required for the information in the field Related Master Assets.
TIP: Re-cataloging
If the field Related Sub Assets was not one of the record fields of the catalog when cataloging, you can employ the menu item Update Record from the File menu to re-catalog the assets.
With Enterprise or a corresponding add-product you make use of the AXR cataloging option. (For details, see below.)
