Linking an Asset to a Watermark
-
You automatically link an asset to a watermark if you assign the asset to a virtual database (VDB) that is configured accordingly. You can do this in two situations:
-
When you complete the asset attributes while creating an asset, see Completing the Attributes of an Asset.
-
When editing the attributes of an asset that has already been created, see Editing the Attributes of an Asset.
In both cases, you must select a VDB for which the following options are activated in the Virtual DB field when editing the attributes:
-
Set meta data Watermark for Downloaded Assets (digital watermark)
-
Set Visual Watermark for Downloaded Assets
If you assign the asset to a corresponding VDB and save the attributes, users can now only save or send the asset with the watermark.
Note that the user who has uploaded a file or version always saves the asset without a visual watermark when downloading it or sending it by e-mail. This also applies when the asset has been transferred to a different owner.
VDBs are configured by individual customers. If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator.
