1.1 Location of the DAM for Episerver connector

The Digizuite™ DAM for Episerver connector is located right next to the Episerver-native Media Library. In order to access the connector, the editor has to log in and enter the edit view. The next step is to click the "Toggle asset pane" symbol in the upper right corner of the user interface, and to select the "Digizuite" tab next to the default tabs such as "Blocks" and "Media".

Clicking the pin symbol in the upper left corner of the pane will keep it in place, so that the editor can easily access DAM for Episerver thoughout the whole process of creating and editing on-page content.

1.2 Folder structure

The folder structure in the DAM for Episerver pane mirrors the folders visible in all the solutions in the Digizuite product family. The editor can navigate through the folders by expanding and collapsing the subfolders, just like in any other tree structure.

Unlike the folders in the default Media Library, the Digizuite folders can only be created, re-named and deleted in the DAM Center.

1.3 Viewing assets

1.3.1 List view

The list of the assets presented in the right-hand side pane, just under the folders, matches the content of the selected folder, highlighted with green.

The following elements are included on each list entry:

Thumbnail of the asset,
Title of the asset,
The "i" symbol which opens a box with quick asset information,
The context menu with a number of options.

Moreover, if a specific asset has the cropped images related to it, they are displayed under the asset after clicking on it.

1.3.2 Focused view

The editor can access the focused view of an asset in two different ways:

By double-clicking the asset on the list,
By selecting "Edit" from the context menu.

The focused preview consists of the following elements:

A larger thumbnail of the asset,
The "crop" button on the right of the asset thumbnail which initiates the cropping tool,
All the metada of the asset, most in read-only mode,
Media Manager Url,
All the available media formats automatically generated by the system,
Crops of the asset, if available.

1.4 Notifications

The Digizuite™ DAM for Episerver is connected to the Episerver notifications system. In other words, the editor is informed of certain events by received a notification in the user interface. These notifications might concern for example:

the start of the cropping process,
the finalization of cropping process,
the finalization of the upload.

A number in a red circle visible on top of the notifications symbol signalizes how many unread messages there are. Clicking the symbol opens a box with notifications. The unread notifications are marked with yellow.
