Brand Guardian and MediaStore

As a plug-in to MediaStore, Brand Guardian utilises some of its parent system’s technology. However, the two systems differ in many ways.

MediaStore and Brand Guardian searches run completely independently of each other. If you are in Brand Guardian, you cannot search MediaStore and vice versa.

Brand Guardian uses the same category functionality as MediaStore to help in the correct cataloguing of your brand assets. However, these categories will be locked down during the initial configuration process to protect the Brand Guardian workflow. Please see Brand Guardian Set-up for a detailed explanation of this process.

Brand Guardian utilises the same asset management data structure as MediaStore to allow users to see detailed information on brand assets. You can upload assets to Brand Guardian through the same Add Asset and Add Batch process as already defined in this manual. Ensure that you add the asset to a Brand Guardian category for it to be accessible through Brand Guardian.

Brand Assets can span between both Brand Guardian and MediaStore to enable them to be visible by both sets of users. The asset will be treated differently dependant on where it is ordered from. If it is through Brand Guardian, it will be treated as a Brand Guardian asset and follow the Brand Guardian access protocol; whereas if it is viewed in MediaStore it must be ordered using the normal MediaStore ordering process.

As with assets, users too can span both Brand Guardian and MediaStore. Please see section ‘Brand Guardian Users Profile’ for further information.
