Assets
Assets in unroole are simply the term given to any supporting rich media content or other file that can be shared throughout an account. This includes but is not limited to:
Supported Formats
The system supports a variety of formats for documents. It is able to detect these formats and identify some simple naming or formating errors preventing problems when integrating this type of content in other parts of the system.
- Images
- Videos
- YouTube Videos
- PDF documents
- Word, Excel, Powerpoint Documents
- Keynote Files
- Compress Archives
- etc
All other asset types that the system is unable to identify are simply given the type of 'Document'.
Multiple Styles
Althrough the system always keeps certain assets (images, PDFs) can be stored in multiple formats allow users to leverage a different style of their asset in unique ways. By default the system styles are:
- original
- thumbnail
- icon
For custom installations these styles can be expanded upon and managed during inital setup.
Not all of the asset types however support this feature. (ex: 'Document') In this case the system is smart enough to know when to display the alternative version and when to hide them.
Other Functions
Private Assets
Assets in the system can be shared eithier privately or publicly. Privately shared assets are only accessible from the admin panel or when added as content through other panels (ex: Layout Editor). This means that sharing or bookmarking a link to these assets will not work. If this functionality is required an asset should be changed to public which gives full access to share the asset outside of the CMS.
Extended Functionality
Assets may also have other properties used exclusively in different parts of the system. An example of this would be the Mobile Briefcase Asset Features. These features will only be present when certain engines have been included in the system build.
Troubleshooting
In some rare cases files that are corrupted or misformatted on upload will give errors. If this happens be sure to verify the file format locally or contact the system administrator.
