Introduction
...
Wedia publishes a base DAM object, which contains all mandatory properties to act as a DAM.
To see all its properties, open the administration view and click on Object Management. Select the object asset.
...
Note
It is possible to define more than one asset object, e.g. to separate
...
...
between very different asset collection type. For example, Marketing assets, vs Heritage assets.
Important tags
An asset object needs the following tag setup on the Configuration tab of the object, so it can be recognised system-wide as a DAM object:
damobject
...
If there are videos stored, the object needs the following tag too:
dam_video (to create the different renditions)
...
...
Further the video transcoder must be activated (Administration > Plug-In Manager).
...
...
Create new DAM object
We strongly advocate for duplicating the base “asset” object to create a new DAM object class :
Administration > Object Management
Search for asset
Click Copy object
Name it
Configure the new object with additional properties to fit your needs.
