Do you need a Digital Asset Management system? Find out here.
A Digital Asset Management (DAM) system can help organizations overcome various challenges related to managing digital assets. These challenges may include difficulties in finding specific files, using outdated assets, licensing and copyright issues, and sharing large files with external contacts.
Downloading multiple resources
Users can download multiple resources in one go by adding the resources to a collection or selecting a number of resources from the search results page and clicking on 'Download' from the 'Actions' dropdown box.
Sending user notifications
The article provides guidance on sending user notifications in ResourceSpace. Before version 10, developers had to make several checks before calling send_mail() or message_add() whenever required, resulting in duplicated code and inconsistency.
Access control
The article discusses access control and how it enforces policies to prevent users from acting outside of their intended permissions. Failures in access control can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, modification or destruction of data, or performing a business function outside of the limits of the user.
Checkmail
The Checkmail plugin has been developed to expand ResourceSpace's capabilities by enabling the ingestion of resources using email. The plugin allows devices to contribute digital assets to the system, and provides advanced configuration options and the ability to handle a wide range of email types.
How to back up your ResourceSpace installation
Ensure that your ResourceSpace open source Digital Asset Management system has appropriate backups in place.
StaticSync - keep your files in situ
StaticSync is a tool that allows users to keep their files in situ, meaning that they can remain in their existing folder structure. It is not intended to be used as a way to store resources externally to increase storage capability.
Analytics
The analytics function allows detailed reporting on a variety of system actions which can be broken down by user group and filtered by a number of options.
Indexing metadata
ResourceSpace has announced that from version 10.1, indexing of text fields will be limited to the first 500 characters of text. This change is being made to enable ResourceSpace to quickly search resource metadata, rather than the full file contents.
Reports
ResourceSpace offers a reporting section that allows users to access information about downloads, uploads, and views. The reporting section provides a detailed table structure that can be downloaded as a CSV file for spreadsheet software or viewed directly in the browser.
Admin overview
Accessible from the top navigation bar, the Admin menu provides a whole range of tools to help manage ResourceSpace and its contents.
Managing plugins
ResourceSpace is a digital asset management system that can be extended or modified using plugins. Plugins have a managed structure that makes it easy for third parties to write and for site administrators to maintain, even as function and bug fixes are applied to the base code.
