Assets

The Assets section in Administration allows you to modify the behavior of the Assets module.

Templates

This section allows you to customize the email templates used for anything Assets related (sending files or baskets, DAM approvals,…)

Properties

Properties allows you to manage the metadata that is stored on assets. The list shows the existing metadata.

Metadata properties of type “Dropdown list” will have a chevron next to the name. Clicking the chevron expands a section where the list items can edited.

Adding additional metadata

You can add metadata fields by clicking the “Add” button.

Type the property name in the corresponding field, and select the type from the datatype you want to use.

The following types are available:

• text: a text field

• textarea: a formatted text box

• number: a number field

• date: a date

• dropdown. You can use the chevron next to the property name in the properties list to add values to the list after the property is created

Click Save to add the metadata.

Editing metadata

When opening the context menu in the properties list, you can do the following

Edit

Edit allows you change the name and type of the property.

Delete

Delete removes the metadata property from the system. Caution is advised with this feature, because it will also delete all of the associated values with this property. Deleting a property is final.

Visible Columns

The visible columns section allows you to set a default selection and order of visible columns for newly created users. Columns can be picked up and dragged up or down to determine their order in the list view. The list contains system and custom property fields.

This is how the list-view will look like upon first log-in for this user. From this point, the user can still tailor their own view by changing the order and show and hiding visible columns.
