Build your content rights register.

How to build your content rights register

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep asset permissions, usage windows and restrictions visible before reuse.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the asset requester records the asset and how the rights reviewer reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your content rights register

• Keep the asset in context

  Keep asset, rights holder, territory, usage window, permission reference, restriction and review owner together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A sample photograph is licensed for a June newsletter in one territory. A July advertising request falls outside the recorded window; hold reuse for rights review rather than treating possession of the file as permission.

• Keep review owner visible

  Hold the proposed use when it falls outside the recorded permission.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the asset requester a working view and the rights reviewer a review view. Keep asset and rights holder attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
