Test Asset Upload

Test Upload from Widget or from DamMaster in a Repository View

  • In the New UI, upload a digital asset either through the Upload Digital Assets widget or open the DamMaster repository in a Repository View and click the Upload button on the Repository View's Activity bar.

  • In the Classic UI, upload a digital asset either through the Upload Digital Assets widget or open the DamMaster repository in a Repository View and click the Upload Image button on the Repository View's Action bar.

Perform the following:

  1. Upload an asset.

  2. Check that the asset's record appears in DamMaster.

  3. Check that the asset appears in the DAMRoot folder.

  4. If the asset is an image, check that the image's variants have been created correctly.

Test Uploading an Image from a Linked Record

While performing this test exercises core DAM functionality, it also exercises other major EnterWorks components. Therefore, a failure of this test does not necessarily indicate a failure of DAM processes.

Perform the following in both the New and Classic UIs:

  1. Open a record for editing in the Detail Editor.

  2. Import and link an asset.

  3. Verify the following:

    • Verify that the asset has been linked properly.

    • If the asset is an image, verify that the image's thumbnail appears when the record is displayed in a Repository View.

Test Variant Generation

Test Automatic Image Variant Generation

  1. Remove one of the variants of an image.

  2. Re-upload the image.

    • The variant should have been re-created.

    • Check that the variant appears in DamMaster.

    • Check that the variant appears in the DAMRoot folder.

Test Image Regeneration Utility

In both the New and Classic UIs, test the Regenerate Variants function:

  1. Trigger the Regenerate Variants function:

    • In the New UI:

      1. Open DamMaster in a Repository View.

      2. Select one or more images.

      3. Open the More dropdown by clicking the button on the Repository View's Activty Bar and select Regenerate.

    • In the Classic UI:

      1. Open DamMaster in a Repository View.
