6.2 New Functions and Features

NetXposure continues to allow users the option of customizing the DAM to meet your branding needs. Version 6.2 offers a number of new themes to taylor the NetX experience to your brands’ look and feel. Contact NetX for details about a completely custom UI and portal for your needs. 

Version 6.2 offers admins a single screen to view graphs to show the most useful stats from the NetX system, such as bandwidth storage, assets, and users.

Asset Management

6.2 also offers users several ways to drill down their search results with the addition of the advanced search option. Now users can perform a search and simply click an arrow in the search feild to then search within those search results–search within a search. NetX also added the option quickly perform advanced searches from within a set of search results.

With multiple users, inevitably someone will attempt to ingest an asset into the DAM which has already been imported. New to 6.2 is the option to run and MD5 Checksum on every asset being ingested into the DAM. The DAM will not import a second copy of the asset, and will alert the user a copy of the asset already exists, reducing storage waste. If the user is attempting to ingest the asset into a different category, the DAM will automatically create a placeholder in that category with a path to the original asset.

Download Justification

The entire purpose of a DAM is to the headache out of storing, sharing, and working with your digital assets. Allowing external users to search and download assets from the DAM saves time, but sharing copyrighted or brand sensitive assets can get tricky; which is why NetXposure created the Download Justification Workflow for version 6.2.

External users are required to fill out a justification form to access the DAM, and based on their title—ie: journalist, consumer, marketing personnel—the administrator will assign them a user level with a predetermined set of permissions regarding browsing, downloading, and repurposing. The user can then search and browse the DAM, but when they want to download an asset, they must fill out the Download Justification form, telling the Admin where the asset is going to be used, and for what purpose.

The Admin is sent an email with the request for download, and permission can be granted or denied from the email. This allows companies to ensure the assets are being used in accordance with its standards and brand guidelines, and track where and how its assets are being used.

Ratings

Finding assets in NetX isn’t a problem, but to help users find the most popular or quality assets, we’ve added Asset Ratings. Users can rate assets on a scale of one to five stars- think Netflix. The system then allows users to create a search based on an aggregated voting system. Now users looking for an image for an ad campaign, for example, can narrow their search results even further, by searching for a specific category, and the highest rated image.

Version 6.2 allows hierarchical metadata fields to be created. This allows users to drill down specific metadata, such as U.S./Oregon/Portland, all from a single metadata field.
