- Gosia Creosteanu (Unlicensed)
- Mathias Mattson (MHM)
All the assets related to another asset are displayed in the panel on the right. Some of the relations are established automatically by the system as a result of specific user actions, while other can be made manually.
Crops/Trims
When the user creates a new crop of an image or a new trim of a video, one of the available options is to create a new asset related to the original asset:
Once the system finishes processing the new crop or trim, the new asset becomes accessible in the panel "Related" under the category "Crops"/"Trims".
Asset history
In Media Manager 5 the user can access all the previous versions of an asset. Once the system finishes asset replacement procedure, the old asset is pushed to the category "Asset History" in the panel "Related". This is where the user can preview the entire history of asset replacements.
Linked assets
The user can manually create a relation between two or more assets. In the DAM Center it is possible to configure a special type of metadata field, which allows the user to add relation to another asset by simply selecting it from the list of all the assets existing in the system. In order to simplify the task of finding the desired assets, the field contains free text search for the asset's title.
Once the related assets are selected and the change is saved, these assets will automatically appear in the "Related" panel under the category with the same name as the metadata field.
