Formatted by Filename, Context and Description. Below is the complete list of supported template files and its purpose.

new.aspx   |   InputContext

input.aspx   |   InputContext

upload.aspx   |   UploadContext

Triggered when a media file is uploaded in an input form. Use this file create thumbnails of uploaded assets and save them into the asset.

post_input.aspx   |   PostInputContext

Triggered when a user clicks on save in an input form. At this point, the data has not yet been saved. Useful for field checking or post processing, such as field validation. For example ensuring that value had been entered for the title field if not, set the ValidationError on the context to return the user back to the input screen. (context.ValidationError = "Please enter a title") NOTE: setting this value does not stop execution of the post_input, if there is is any code further down that requires that the field should be present, you must check if it exists before trying to use it. Setting the ValidationError will also prevent the data from being saved.

post_save.aspx   |   PostSaveContext

If the template does not contain a preview.aspx, the output.aspx will be used.
