ADDING ASSETS IN WEB UI

You can add assets to the Asset Manager in two ways:

  • By clicking the two icons top right, Upload files or Upload folder. Both these buttons will open a file dialog allowing you to select a single file or a folder containing multiple files to be added to the Asset Manager.

  • By selecting the files or folders from a open file window and drag-dropping them to the Asset Manager web UI.

After the file/folder is added, the files will be optimized and imported to the Asset Manager database and there will be a visible progress bar indicating the status of the import/optimization.


DELETING ASSETS IN THE WEB UI

Click the checkbox (1) next to the file or folder to be deleted. Click the Delete (2) button in the lower right corner to delete the selected items. Note: This action cannot be undone.

WARNING

  • Be careful when you delete an asset! The system does not check if the asset is used in an old or currently loaded show. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that a used asset is not deleted.

  • Deleting a folder will also delete all assets inside the folder.

  • You cannot undo the deletion of a folder or an asset in the web UI.
