About Assets

Assets is a centralized web-based repository that manages and controls digital marketing assets, such as images, documents, and video files. You can create, view, update, copy, move, share, and delete an asset. You can also preview an asset, create versions and renditions, and download assets. Using Assets enables you to upload, store, search, and retrieve assets; and distribute them for use or reuse through any web browser. For more information, see Working with an Asset.

You can upload and update several assets at one time. When you select several assets for upload or update, a batch job is initiated. You can view the job status and other information about the batch jobs. You can also use a template, such as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, to update several assets at one time. For more information, see Working with Multiple Assets.

You can toggle between a Tile view and a Table view. The Tile view displays thumbnails more prominently while the Table view displays more of the information associated with the asset. Within the table view, you can click next to the table header and select Manage Columns to add or remove the columns displayed in the table. You can also sort the order of the columns, which enables you to display only the columns that are most useful for you in the table view.

Assets supports various file formats for images, documents, and video. For more information, see Supported File Formats.

You can integrate an external Content Management System (CMS) with SAS Customer Intelligence 360. Integrations with external CMSs must be enabled through configuration. After the integrations are configured, you can select assets from either SAS Digital Asset Management or an integrated CMS.
