Customization and APIs

Alienbrain is completely customizable, and ships with fully documented APIs and sample code for Jscript, MEL, maxscript, C++ and Microsoft .NET, as well as a host of other customization tools.

• Custom Metadata: You can assign custom metadata to every file in the Alienbrain repository to help filter files, manage file variants, generate custom reports, and so on. Each branch in the file tree can have custom metadata, or inherit metadata from its parent branch.

• Triggers & Events: Alienbrain supports server- and client-side triggers/and events. The Server Event System (SES) allows you to write components that react to specific operations on the repository—email notification when a file is submitted, for example. On the client, events are generated before and after each operation, and can be caught to change the standard behavior.

• Command Line Tool: Available on all supported platforms of the cross-platform client, the command-line tool offers advanced users a powerful way of automating tasks and batch processing.
