Importing assets can be done in several ways, using either the built-in importer or UNC Batch ingest. The easiest way is to use the built-in importer.

Navigate to the Catalog area and select a folder where you want to upload the asset.
Right click on the selected folder and press Import to folder – the Digizuite™ DAM Center import window will pop up

Click Browse to select one or more files for import. (Multiple files can be selected holding SHIFT or CTRL)
Click Begin upload to upload files to the Digizuite™ DAM Center. Progress for each file is shown during upload – when the process is finished, the following message will appear:

Uploaded Media

All the uploaded files inside Digizuite™ DAM Center are maintained in their native format for highest possible flexibility. Further on, workflows enable files to be converted to different file formats and delivered to other Digizuite™ products.

An asset differs from an ordinary file by being a high quality file with multiple purposes and very high re-usability. From one single high quality file uploaded to the Digizuite™ DAM Center, it is possible to have several output qualities created automatically by the Digizuite™ DAM Center. That is the essence of working with an advanced Digital Asset Management system such as Digizuite™ DAM Center.

Note: Before uploading, it is possible to edit the metadata to one or more files using the metadata editor to the right.
