Asset Details
You can view the full details of any asset by clicking on either its thumbnail image or the 'View details' link for the asset in search results or when browsing the categories.
The Asset Details page shows the details of the asset, and varies depending on whether the asset is an image, video, audio or other document.
For all types of asset, the asset’s attributes and their values are shown, for example ID, Title, Description and Size. Admin users will see all attributes. Other users may see only a subset of the attributes, depending on how admin users have configured the attribute visibility settings for the group(s) the user is in.
You can add the asset to your lightbox by clicking 'Add to lightbox'. If the asset is already in your lightbox then you will see a message 'In lightbox' instead of the 'Add to lightbox' link.
Download - If you have permission to download the asset you will see the ‘Download’ button. Clicking this leads to the Asset Download page. If you do not have permission, but you are able to request permission from an admin user, you can do so by adding the asset to your lightbox and then requesting approval of the asset from there.
Edit - If you have permission to edit this asset then you will see an 'Edit' button. If you click this you will see the Update Asset page, which enables you to update the metadata or file associated with the asset.
Delete - If you have permission to delete this asset then you will also see a 'Delete' button. If you click this then you will be asked to confirm, and then the asset will be permanently removed from your Asset Bank.
Batch Releases - If batch releases are enabled then when a update user is looking at the view assset page they should see a link that enables them to add the current asset to a batch release. If the asset is already in a batch release then this function enables the user to move the asset to a new batch release.
Embed - If embedding is enabled this link creates embeddable code for image, file, video and audio assets which allows you to display them on other web pages. Once you have clicked 'embed' you will be given the embed code which can be inserted into any HTML page to display the asset on that page. You can also resize the asset dimensions prior to creating the embed code by clicking on the 'Create new version' link.
If you don't have the 'embed' link next to your assets on the asset details page, then you will need to enable the following setting in your ApplicationSettings.properties file:
# Is asset file repurposing (AKA embedding) enabled?
asset-repurposing-enabled=true
Once you have changed the setting to 'true' you will need to restart the web application for the setting to take effect.
Please be aware that if you delete the original asset file from your Asset Bank then any embeddable versions you may have created will also be deleted from the system.
Versioning: note, if you re-upload a new asset (e.g. to create an updated version of the original) then this new version will now be shown in the sites you have embedded the asset in.
For further information on embedding please read this KB article.
