Upload of Locally Stored Images

You can upload locally saved data to the Own Administration Pictures, Own DSE Pictures, Own Smart Access Pictures, Own Brand Template Builder Pictures and My Reviews areas. The files are not assigned to a VDB and cannot be found in the Media Pool module. To create an uploaded file as an asset, you must first complete the asset attributes. Note: If a different user uploads the same file and completes the asset attributes, the file can automatically be accessed in the Media Pool module.

  1. Click > Assets > Collections

  2. Select one of the collections Own Administration Pictures, Own DSE Pictures, Own Smart Access Pictures, Own Brand Template Builder Pictures or My My Reviews by clicking on it.

  3. Click Browse or click the input field.

    The file dialog box of your operating system opens.

  4. Select a locally saved image file.

  5. Click Open the file dialog box followed by Save.

The image is uploaded and saved in the selected collection.

Note

The uploaded images are not yet assigned to a VDB and thus cannot be found in the Media Pool module. After uploading the image, you can create it as an asset in the module Media Pool by editing the attributes.

After you have uploaded one or more image files into a collection, you can access the following functions from the Menu… button below the collection:
