When one or more digital assets are imported into EnterWorks, the files are uploaded, image variants are created, new metadata records are created in DamMaster for new digital assets, and metadata records for existing digital assets are updated.
The user can upload digital assets several different ways:
-
You can upload digital assets and link them to a record by editing the record's linked relationships. For more information, see Manage Linked Records.
-
If EnterWorks has been configured to allow Bulk Import, EnterWorks will periodically upload all the files in a designated folder (often labeled
DamDrop), store them, generate variants, and create their metadata records. Configuration of the Bulk Import functionality is typically performed by system administrators.
For information about factors that affect image upload and processing speeds, see Factors that Affect Image Processing.
