Add Asset

NOTE: The maximum file size for a file upload is set at 10MB.

To add a new single file, select the ‘Add Asset’ option. Click the ‘Browse’ button to locate the file you wish to upload. Once you have located the file, double click on the file name or click the ‘Open’ button on your Explorer window.

You will now see that the file location name is present in the text box. By clicking the ‘Add Asset’ button the file will be transferred to the server. This may take a few moments depending on file size and connection speed.

When the file has been successfully uploaded to the system, the screen will automatically refresh and you will see a dynamic thumbnail of the image along with text boxes for the asset content.

You can now work through the following options to include in the asset data:

  • Description – free ranging text (meta data) for you to add a description of the image. You may also use this option to add any other additional instructions that users may find useful
  • Keywords – add keywords (meta data) for accurate searching. Use spaces or commas between words. The more keywords that you can assign to the file, the better the search will be for users
  • Primary Category – Choose the primary category that the asset is to belong to. The administrator of this category will then be responsible for the onward maintenance of this asset.
  • Categories – select both primary and secondary categories that the asset will belong to
  • Further Drop Down Menus – these options will be dependant on those chosen at system configuration. Simply select the options you wish to include. As a default, MediaStore is provided with Black & White or Colour, Portrait or Landscape and Year
  • Price – where an image is chargeable, enter the unit cost, e.g. 0.50 would be 50 pence and 1.50 is one pound fifty pence
  • Asset Expiry – set a date where the image would expire (where applicable). Date format is DD/MM/YYYY, so 19/10/2004 would be the 19 th October 2004.

Once you have entered all the asset data you require, simply click the ‘Save’ button to complete the process.
