Hello,

For people who use their DAM on their CMS, I'd like to know how you identify linked assets.
What would be interesting would be to have information on the image telling us that this asset is linked. A bit like the text box that appears on the thumbnail of an archived or limited image.
We could have information like this: “online” “web”...
What do you think?
This way, we know that the image is online, and perhaps avoid unwanted deletion.

 

If we are using it on a website, we have two routes. First: just tag it with the website URL, and check tags before deletion or other status changes. Second route is to check your delivery analytics on the asset; that can tell you which sites its being served to, if you are using CDN links.
 


Hello,
Perhaps I've misspoken my request.
In fact, my request was for a visual indication directly on the asset thumbnail. In order to have direct visibility of its online use (as in the example I posted).
This way, we can identify what's online visually and immediately, and we could sort them according to whether they're online or not.


In general, more control over the thumbnail overlay tags would be amazing. I think we should be able to choose 1-4 metaproperties to have overlay tags, and be able to choose their color. 


@Nico you could also make a metaproperty Online, with options like Yes, No, or a freetext field to put in an address or site name, then make it display on the asset card in the asset bank. It’s what we do so that a user can see at a glance which assets belong to which business unit or brand.
 

 


Thank you ​@Joe Hess  for your reply.
Indeed, adding a metaproperty was an option I had considered. I'll give that a try too.

Thank you ​@KevinMurphy I’m agree with you
