By default, there are 4 roles available in a project, but only one has acces to the upload button: the admin.

If roles are created or if you want to give access to the upload to another role group, you have to add the group ID into $.dam-import.upload.roles.

Example of role configuration file:

Here, the group ID 4 (developer) and the group ID 27 (admin) will be able to upload.

If a group ID is added, don’t forget to update $.menu.actionAvailabled.json. See documentation on Main Menu for more information.

If you have more than a single asset universe on your project, you have to choose the asset universe in which you wish to add those assets. The list of available asset universe and their order is configurable

The uploaded files are scanned and you can track the scan progress. Scan retrieve the metadata of the uploaded files, and check if there are duplicates.

If the uploaded file is an archive (.zip) and the unzip checkbox is selected, the archive will be decompressed and the assets in it will be analyzed…

…By defaullt, this will not be the case if the archive is a .360.zip or a .3d.zip. The archive will not be decompressed and the archive will be considered as only 1 asset.
This can be changed in $.damImport.upload.unzip.exceptForEndsWith.

"Click on 'Filter' to access the filters and keyword search.

Two filters are provided by default and allow you to filter by:

• Asset type

• Status

Filter by status

Different status can be assigned to the assets (automatically or manually) in order to facilitate the indexing. Users can sort the assets according to :

Probable duplicate : This status is assigned by default when the system has detected a potential duplicate identified by AI

Indexed: This status is assigned by default and indicates information are missing for indexing completion. If all mandatory information are filled in the indexing form, the assets move automatically to Approved Status. By default the product comes with no mandatory information, that’s why the assets move to approved status directly

In review : When all the mandatory fields in the form are filled in, the media enters this status. The user can also choose to manually switch to this status.

Rejected: This is a manual action that user can perform when IA identified a duplicate content or if an asset is not wanted anymore in the batch

Approved: When all required information has been completed, indexing can be done

Users can select the assets they want to valide, and click on the “Validate” button in order to finish the indexing process. Note that contributor have not the right to publish an asset, that means the assets will be in “Pending validation” status, and would need a validation by administrator from the backoffice.
