Make collection-sharing work from the app

If you’re connecting your app to a pre-5.6.0 DAM Center and Media Manager, then you need to go update a search, so that recipients can load assets on collection links they recieve.

Again, go to your ConfigManager for the Mobile, and navigate to the version that you created. E.g. Digizuite™ Mobile → Default → “Mobile”.

In here, navigate to the Searches tab, and open the search named GetAssetsByBasketId.

Go to the Output tab of the search, and press the Add button

Go to “Table and column“ and set the following values (As the image also shows):

  • Choose table = Item

  • Choose column = itemGuid

  • ID = itemGuid

Press Save

…and you’re done!

Ensure that a specific video quality is enabled

The format "Tablet H264 2048kbit ffmpeg" is used in the mobile video player

  1. Ensure the format is enabled and added to the profile

Create a custom app for the customer

Once the configuration is done in the DAM center, information about the customer must be sent to LET Software. The information can be found:
