Digizuite™ Media Manager 5 offers two different methods of uploading new files:
Upload button
...
The ‘Upload'
...
button is located in the upper right corner of the application's interface. In order to upload new files with this method, the user needs to click the button and then select files from desktop in the upload dialog box.
After selecting the files, clicking
...
'Open’ will start the upload process in the background.
Drag and drop to upload
...
...
Another method of uploading files is by simply dragging and dropping them anywhere within the Media Manager's interface. While the user drags the file(s) over the application's interface, the drop area will turn white and the prompt ‘Let go to upload your files’ will appear in the center of the screen.
After the user drops the files and confirms the action by pressing the ‘Upload’ button in the newly appeared dialog , the upload will start in the background.
The progress of the upload can be traced in the minimized window upload area in the lower left corner of the screentop bar.
...
If the user would like to see more details, the window area can be expanded by clicking the arrow on the right of the button and the user will be able to view the upload progress of the files individually.
...
The user can edit the metadata before the files finish uploading. Clicking ‘Edit this’ ‘More’ next to a new asset and then selecting ‘Edit’ will initiate a single edit.
...
It it also possible to edit metadata on more assets at once either with the use of Group Edit function (editing metadata on one asset at a time without losing track of all of them) or Multi Edit function (changing metadata on many assets simultaneously). These two options are available at the top of the upload area.
Upon clicking ‘Cancel’ ‘Cancel all’ the user will be asked if the remaining uploads should be dropped. The user can only cancel the upload of files still in the queue.
Clicking ‘Remove’ ‘Clear’ next to an asset will clear the asset away from the preview window.
...
In order to view the previously uploaded assets, the user should click ‘Assets’ menu on the top bar, and then go into ‘Your uploads’.
...
Duplicate check
...
(video placeholder)
When the user uploads new assets, the system checks automatically, whether the assets already exist in the system.
...
If duplicates are detected and the user has the correct rights (see Roles for more details), the upload process will be paused and a new dialog appears, in which the user needs to resolve each upload conflict individually.
...
If the dialog is closed by the user without making any decisions pertaining the upload conflicts, only the resolved files will become uploaded, and the ones with the conflict become discarded.
Deleting assets
(video placeholder)
The users with the correct rights have the ability to delete assets from the Media Manager UI. There are two types of asset removal:
Deleting, where removed assets are archived and can be retrieved at a later point
Deleting permanently, where assets are completely removed from the DAM and cannot be restored.
In order to delete/permanently delete permanently an asset, the user needs to select more options on an asset card and then click ‘Delete’/'Delete permanentlyPermanently delete'.
...
It is also possible to delete multiple assets at once. In order to perform this action, the user needs to select multiple assets and then click ‘Delete’/'Delete permanentlyPermanently delete' in the the multiselect button in the top bar.
