The DAM is where authors can upload files (other than HTML) for publishing on their websites. Examples include images and PDF documents. The interface is similar to the WCM.

DAM Left Panel : The folder structure is on the left panel, and can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the appropriate plus (+) or minus (-) symbols. For your first time using the DAM, you will need to navigate to your department’s Digital Assets through the tree, beginning with SFU. Contact your Site Administrator if you cannot see your department’s Digital Assets space. You can only see those that you have been AUTHORIZED to.

DAM RIGHT Panel : The right panel will display the folders and their contents, including thumbnails of images. A double-click on the image will display a larger version and details such as its size, description, tags, and dimensions.

While determining the folder structure of the contents within the DAM is entirely to the authors’ discretion, keeping it similar to the site structure in the WCM is suggested. This will offer a visual reference between the RELATIONSHIP of the files in the DAM and the pages in the WCM. All files must be UPLOADED to the DAM before they can be used; the system cannot access online files. Each must be ACTIVATED (the same way as activating a content page), otherwise it will not appear on the published page, and it will only be in the authorrsquo;s editing window.
