Managing Digital Asset Linkages

In this guide, you will learn how to effectively manage digital assets, such as images, documents, and videos, and how to associate these assets with products, vehicles, accessories, and more. Marketing professionals can utilize this process to tag assets by their lifecycle stages, ensuring that outdated materials are appropriately flagged or moved. The guide also covers asset search and retrieval by model or accessory type.

Step 1

To begin, the focus is on digital assets, including images, documents, and videos, and understanding how these assets can be linked to specific entities.

Step 2

The assets can be associated with various items such as products, vehicles, and accessories. Additionally, marketing professionals can tag assets with a lifecycle stage, allowing outdated materials to be flagged or moved. The ability to search and retrieve assets by model or accessory type is also available.

Step 3

Marketing professionals can gain an overview of media assets linked to specific vehicles. For instance, accessing the Corolla Cross allows viewing of a tab containing relationships to different assets like audios, documents, images, or videos. Proceed to open the images section.

Step 4

In the images section, marketing professionals can view different images assigned to the Corolla Cross. They also have options such as a quick preview of how an image is represented in the system and can view or manage additional details.

Step 5

Later, the entity network provides a graphical overview of all relationships. You can highlight items of interest, such as images, and view links to related images.

Step 6

From the entity network, you can access the details of a specific image entity, including its status.

Step 7

The status is set to 'live' and is derived from the vehicle entity, which can be accessed here.

Step 8

The status is directly derived from the vehicle's status.

Step 9

If the vehicle's status changes to 'draft' or 'deactivated', upon switching back

Step 10

to the specific image, its status automatically updates.

Step 11

This setup demonstrates a model where the status of a vehicle or accessory affects the image status. However, images can also be tagged independently.

Step 12

The image status can be independent of the vehicle's status. This setup depends on user preferences and workflow requirements.

Step 13

Switching to another entity may indicate a missing image. For instance, adding a missing image might be necessary.

Step 14

To address this, open the vehicle and observe the absence of videos or images, except for the default system image. You can add additional images as needed.

Step 15

Using the add functionality, you can view available images. By searching for a specific model, such as Hilux, related images appear. Select the desired images and save them.

Step 16

You can designate a primary image to be featured prominently. After marking and saving the selection, the dummy image can be removed.

Step 17

A new primary image is set. If a video needs to be added, it can be uploaded and added simultaneously.

Step 18

Upload a file directly using a drag-and-drop action. For example, choose an MP4 file for upload.

Step 19

After uploading, the file is added. You can review the relationships and see everything is included.

Step 20

Review images and videos, which are now available. Various views, such as tiled or list views, are offered to display media assets.

Step 21

Marketing professionals can access the digital asset library through the navigation pane. Clicking at the bottom reveals available system assets. Use search functionality for specific accessories.

Step 22

Enter a keyword to retrieve related images. Tagging enables this functionality for model codes and different models.

Step 23

The library offers a quick view of images in larger format, with detailed information or download options available.

Step 24

Related entities for vehicles show where an image is currently used. Jump directly to entities, and view information in tabular, list, or tiled formats.

Step 25

Meta attributes provide insights, such as computer-generated analytics and tagging. These analyses include ratings, scores, and other evaluations.

Step 26

Technical and access information, file data, and structured metadata are configurable for flexibility.

Step 27

Image analytics perform sentiment analysis to detect critical content inappropriate for websites or publications. This helps in searching for specific attributes.

Step 28

Check the status, tagged as 'live,' and modify lifecycle stages. Batch operations allow changes without repeating steps individually.

Step 29

Batch operations facilitate quick lifecycle state changes. Select images and adjust their attributes collectively.

Step 30

Access different attributes relevant to the media. For example, adjust the status to a new value.

Step 31

Proceed to the next step and select a value from the list to prevent errors.

Step 32

Deactivate related images if needed. Finish and close, or review task details as batch operations proceed in the background.

Step 33

The operation processes in the background and updates media statuses successfully. This concludes the demonstration.
