Digital Asset Management

Digital assets are files used in relation with the data being managed, such as digital images, audio files, video files, PDF documents, Microsoft Office documents, and other types of files. Any type of file can be uploaded as a digital asset.

EnterWorks can create variants from the following image file formats. Depending on how DAM is configured, the variants will be stored in JPG or png format. Other image file types might also be supported for variant creation.

  • GIF

  • JPEG

  • JPG

  • png

  • EPS

  • PSD

  • TIF

  • TIFF

The Digital Asset Manager (DAM) is the set of folders, repositories, and processes used to store digital assets and make them accessible to the rest of EnterWorks.

The records in the DamMaster repository hold the metadata for the digital assets. Each digital asset has one record in DamMaster. The metadata includes filepath, fileextension, and any other metadata that can be extracted from the image such as width, and height.

Depending on system configuration, digital assets can be associated with any repository record.

An orphan is either:

  • A digital asset file that does not have a record in DamMaster.

  • A record in DamMaster that does not have a link to a digital asset file.
