This feature is available from DAM for Sitecore 8.0.2 update 1 and up.
As a Sitecore administrator / developer you have the opportunity to apply filters when the content editor opens the asset browser. Meaning you can control which asset types that should be available, which menu item that should be visible or which formats the editor can choose from.
How to:
- First you create a new item based on this template /sitecore/templates/DFS/Data/AssetBrowserTemplateSource, under /sitecore/content/home.
- Select the item and set filters. The first field under the section Filter is required. Select your asset silo.
- Menu, Select the menu items, that should be visible. If this is empty, no filters will be applied.
- AssetTypes, Select on or more asset types that you want to restrict to. If this is empty, no filters will be applied.
- Formats, Select the format the editors can choose from. If this is empty, no filters will be applied.
- Menu, Select the menu items, that should be visible. If this is empty, no filters will be applied.
- Copy the Item Id of the item created in #2, then go to a template that has one of DAM for Sitecore field types and paste the item id into the source property of the field that should have the filters.
- Now you can test the template and verify that the filters are applied, when editors inserts assets to the field.
