Package Inbox

The Package Inbox is where you can view all Packages that have been shared with you or that you have created.

Filtering

Filtering options are an easy way to narrow down the list of Packages in your Inbox to a desired subset.

Status Filters

  1. Inbox: Filter your Inbox to only non-Archived Packages you have received
  2. Sent: Filter your inbox to Packages you have sent to yourself or other users
  3. Unread:Filter your inbox to only Packages you haven't viewed yet
  4. Favorites: Filter your inbox to only Packages you've Favorited
  5. Archived: Filter your inbox to only Packages you've Archived
  6. Deleted: Filter your inbox to only Packages you've Deleted
  7. All: Show all Packages, regardless of their status

Package Type Filter

Select a Package Type to filter your Inbox to only Packages of the selected type.

  • All Packages: Displays packages of any type: standard, dailies, approval, download, & review.
  • Feedback: (Standard) Filters by Standard type packages. Clicking on a Feedback (Standard) package will display its contents, and allow you to view and/or download them with the comment or download panel enabled. Users are aware of other users on this share. .
  • Dailies: Filters by Screener type packages. A Screener package launches the recipient directly into the player with the first file open. Only the sender can see who is included in the share. This Package Type streamlines the experience for users.
  • Approval: Filters by Approval type packages. An Approval package type opens to a view of all files, with the approval panel enabled. Everyone on the share is visible, but each person can only see their own approvals or if you are the sender or an approvals manager you can see all Approvals.
  • Download: Filters by Download type packages. A Download package generates a simple, web-based download page. It's the easiest way to share files when you know recipients only need to download the files, rather than take action in Core.
  • Sync Review: Filters by Sync Review type packages. A Sync Review package type enables a real-time, hosted review. Recipients cannot see or access the files except when guided by the host (sender)

Production Filter

With the All Productions filter, which is a dropdown menu above the other Status Filters, you can sort your Package Inbox by the Productions for which you’ve been sent a package.

Note: If you’re having trouble finding a package, check to make sure your Production filter is switched back to All Productions.

Search

Use the Search box to search for your Packages. Type in keywords into the search box and packages containing those keywords in the package name will appear on the list. In example below, we searched for the keyword ‘ILM’ in the Search Box and a package containing that keyword in the package name appeared on the list. Search Box will also search content within your packages by a specific filename.

Troubleshooting Packages

My Package Won’t Open in Package Viewer

If your package opens, but only in the Player, go to Troubleshooting in Asset & Package Viewer . If your package won’t open when you click on it from your Inbox, then check for the following:

  1. Is it expired?
    • Reach out to the sender of the package if you need more viewing time.
  2. Have you reached the maximum views allowed?
    • Reach out to the sender of the package if you need more views.
  3. Does the package show (0) files at the end of the package name?
    • All files have been removed from the package, reach out to the sender to have them re-share a new package. The package may appear to flash to open but immediately will close and is not viewable.
