What’s New in Wedia DAM 2023.5?

Introducing a WediaTransfer, a Fast, Secure Solution for Large File Transfers—Up to 10GB in a Single Go, Outside the DAM!

Our service provides our clients with a rapid and secure solution designed to streamline the transfer of large files—up to 10GB at once—without storing them in the DAM.

When files are shared, they are sent via an email link. The recipient receives a unique, expiring download link, and the sender gets notified as soon as the download process begins on the recipient's end.

These files are never integrated into the DAM. Instead, they are temporarily stored in a dedicated and secure space within a European datacenter.

These files are retained for a maximum of 15 days to safeguard your data security.

To initiate a file share, you need to have an account on the DAM and be logged in—your role could be anything from a reader to a contributor. However, to receive a shared file, having a DAM account is not necessary; all you need is a valid email address.

Wedia Transfer is activated by default with all 2023.5 upgrades :

 

Advanced Analytics Filtering

We understand how crucial the right data is for your decision-making processes. With our newly introduced Filtering Feature for Analytics Dashboards, now you can easily sift through analytics specific to your individual properties. The data you need is now just a click away!

Enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Security has always been a top priority for us. Our new MFA Connector not only bolsters security but also adds a layer of customization. You can now code specific MFA scenarios tailored to your needs. Stay tuned for early 2024 when we'll be shipping with a standard MFA implementation.

Refined User Interface

Say goodbye to the old horizontal menu that was not only cumbersome but lacked aesthetic appeal. We’ve replaced it with a New Vertical Menu that is not just visually elegant but also highly functional.

Creative Review Upgrades

Measure twice, cut once. The Creative Review Process now supports manual input for target measurements to generate a measuring block. Verify design dimensions quickly and precisely, ensuring that the final output is just as you envisioned.

REST API for Asset History

Our new REST API enables you to query an asset’s entire history, including actions such as views, downloads, updates, comments, and versioning.

The brand-new API endpoint: /api/wedia/analytics/getAssetHistory can be accessed using a POST request.

Here are the parameters you can use:

  • asset: This represents the UID of the asset.

  • from: By default, this is set to the beginning of the current month.

  • to: The default setting is the start of the current day.

  • max: This parameter controls the maximum number of events returned. By default, it's set at 20. Please note that increasing this number will extend the response time.

We’re making copyright management a breeze. When you upload via the Portal, you’ll now find buttons to Extend Copyright End Date by 1 year, 5 years, and so on, giving you more control over your digital assets.
