setDefinition Functions

Specify setDefinition substitution functions in-line. These are resolved during a catalog lookup or on publication. Substitution strings have the format ${<substitution_func>}, and include the following:

NOTE
Handle literals in the parameter lists must be surrounded by brackets ([]). The text outside of a substitution string gets copied to the output string during resolution.
Substitution Function
Returns the Asset's
getFilePath([ asset_handle ])
Primary file path.
getCatalogd([ asset_handle ])
Catalog ID.
getMetaData([ asset_handle ],[ metadata_field_handle ])
Metadata value.
getThumbCatalogId([ asset_handle ])

Catalog ID. Applies to image-based assets (Image, Adjusted View, Layer View).

For other assets, returns the thumb asset's catalog ID (if any). If no thumb asset is associated with the asset, the function returns an empty string.
