To create an asset:
- On the navigation bar,
click
Content
Assets. - On the top menu bar, click Upload and select Upload one new asset
- In the
Standard properties
section, enter this information:
- Enter a Name for the asset. If you do not enter a name, a default name or the name of the original file is applied. Do not use / or \ in the name.
- Enter a Description for the asset.
- Click
Browse to select the
original file to upload. You can save the asset
without uploading a file and add the file later. A
file size of 20 MB is supported for a single
asset.
Note: It is recommended that you upload only clean files. Files that you upload are scanned for malicious content such as viruses. Potentially harmful files are not uploaded.
- (Optional) Select the Generate custom renditions check box to generate custom renditions for the asset. You can generate custom renditions that are specified in a configuration file. For custom renditions, the supported source file types are .tiff, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .png, .dng, and .wpg. The resulting file types that are supported are .tiff, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .png, .pict, and .sgi. For more information, see Create a Version.
- Click
to select the appropriate
location for the asset. The folder that you are
currently in is the default location for the
asset. - Add a tag or search tags in the Tags field. To find an existing tag, click Select tags and select a tag from the available tags. The tags are listed in the order in which they were added. To add a new tag, type the text and press ENTER on your keyboard to commit the tag and include it in the list of available tags. Applying a tag to an asset enables you to collect information about how that asset is used and how often. For more information, see About Tags in SAS Customer Intelligence 360: Administration Guide.
- Click
to select an expiration date for
the asset.
If you set expiration dates for assets, you can identify expired assets by prominent visual indicators in asset lists and open assets. Most asset operations, such as downloading files or viewing previews, are disabled for expired assets. You can filter asset lists by the expiration status. Filtering enables you to easily generate a list of all expired assets, a list of active assets, or a list of assets with missing metadata. You can reactivate an expired asset by modifying the asset expiration date.
Note: If you modify the expiration date, you must save the asset before you complete any additional actions on the asset. - To
enable the asset to be publicly shared with an
external audience, activate the Enable
external sharing on upload of assets
switch.
Note:
- All assets that you upload are either enabled or disabled for external sharing by default, depending on the setting that is specified in the assets configuration. At the time of upload, you can override the default setting by using the toggle switch to enable or disable one or more assets. For more information, see Configure External Sharing in SAS Customer Intelligence 360: Administration Guide.
