Adding digital assets to the library
Use these procedures to add digital assets to the Digital Asset Library. If creating a new collection of files which require a separate folder, be sure you have already created a digital assets folder structure so that you can add the asset to the desired folder.
Please Note:
Be sure to resize your images and reduce files sizes where possible before uploading them to digital assets.
Adding a single digital asset
-
From the System Toolbar, click Systsm and then Digital Asset Manager.
-
Click Add Asset.
-
Be sure the Active checkbox is checked otherwise the asset will not be available for users to add to their content.
-
Enter the Name of the digital asset. This is the name users will use to identify the content of the asset file.
-
Ignore the URL and Description fields
-
Enter an Alt Tag for the digital asset. The text you enter here will be displayed when users place the mouse pointer over top of the asset image or link.
-
In the Assign to Folder field, select the digital asset folder you want to put the asset into.
-
In the Upload field, click Browse and select the file to add to the library.

Adding multiple digital assets
Use this procedure to upload a .zip file of multiple files to a single folder within the Digital Asset Manager.
Before uploading, please note the following:
-
You must select a single, pre-existing digital asset folder that the new assets will be created in or create a new one in the appropriate location if need be.
-
After the zip file is processed, summary information is displayed to the user, identifying the names of all successfully created digital assets, as well as identifying those digital assets which were not created and the reason why.
-
Note: If a digital asset being uploaded has the same name as an existing digital asset, the new asset will not be uploaded.
-
From the Admin Center, open the Digital Asset Manager.
-
Click Add Multiple Asset.
-
Be sure the Active checkbox is checked otherwise the asset will not be available for users to add to their content.
-
From the Assign to Folder drop-down, select the location for the new assets.
