Addressing a key challenge in media workflows: Task Management
Media companies juggle complex workflows, multiple tools, and large teams. When task management is disconnected from the rest of your media asset management environment, you risk delays (= money), duplication of effort (= losing time) and have less control over asset sharing and access (= security risks), ultimately leading to a very inefficient workflow.
In an environment where you are receiving subtitle files, coordinating with post-production, and preparing VOD edits are daily realities, purpose-built solutions are key. Whether you're acquiring, creating, transforming, or delivering assets, coordinating these steps requires more than generic tools. Traditional task managers aren't made for media projects. They lack integration with your media libraries, media-specific tools, and collaboration environments tailored to industry-specific needs.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a major new feature in our platform: project and task management that’s built directly into your MAM. We call it “Work Orders”. Let’s dive in! 👇
Task Management built into your MAM
This new functionality is directly integrated into the platform, built within the same architecture and intuitive design. Now, you can manage projects and tasks, automate workflows, and collaborate faster, all in one place. Users can already find the new tab in their Knox Media Hub menu ✨
Key capabilities
Our new task management feature is designed specifically for media workflows, and is already built into your media library. Here are the key capabilities:
Work Orders, Jobs and Task creation. You can also define hierarchies and dependencies.
Set deadlines and priorities. Monitor progress and stay on schedule with clear priority and due-date settings.
Control access and assign owners and assignees on your projects and tasks. Assign also the assets related to each task. Limit file access based on the task or team.
Grant external collaborators access to your assets by assigning a Media Space.
Create templates for recurring workflows and avoid repetitive setup.
Seamless integration. Use reference codes or unique IDs for syncing with your internal tools and external platforms.

Why it matters
Fewer tools = less friction
Unify your tools. Of course, there is nothing novel about project and task management tools, but a task manager purpose-built for media asset management and collaboration adds great value. It means one dashboard, one login, one source of truth, giving you more control and efficiency.
Faster delivery times
We design with efficiency in mind. With templates, you’ll spend less time managing logistics and more time delivering value. It’s automated media workflows, made easy.
Greater visibility and accountability
Get more control over your assets. It’s an easier and automated way to monitor who can access which files and when. You also get secure collaboration—internally and externally.
Designed for media companies, by media experts
We understand the pain points across departments and partners, that’s why our task management tool is seamless, intuitive, and built with media operations in mind.
