Upload new asset

Before you proceed:

We highly recommend you read the Best Practices for Asset(s). This will give you some ideas on how to prepare your asset(s) and where to upload it. If you're planning to upload faculty asset(s) such as photo, CV, PDF, etc., we also recommend you read the Best Practices for Faculty DAM asset(s). This article will provide some guidelines on how to prepare faculty asset(s) and how to name those files before you upload to the DAM. For those who simply uploading photos, we also suggest you read the Recommended Image Size to understand the image dimensions on each component.

Upload asset(s) procedures for image, Word Document, or PDF, are mostly the same. The only difference is the upload location. Please make sure you navigate to the correct directory before you start your upload.

As a friendly reminder, asset(s) for your academic unit's website should be uploaded to the academic unit's directory; asset(s) for faculty members should be uploaded to the faculty directory in the DAM.

Follow these steps to upload asset(s).

  1. Click on Asset in the left panel In the AEM Portal page.

  2. Navigate to the location you want to upload the asset(s). (Fig. 1)

  3. Click Upload Assets in the Action bar.

  4. In the Open Dialog box, select the asset(s) (Fig. 2) you want to upload.

  5. In the Upload Dialog box, click Upload.
     

Note: DO NOT change the file extension in the Upload Dialog box. Without the file extension, the system might not be able to recognize the file and return unexpected result when you try to insert it into component. If you want to have a "meaningful" name of the specific asset, you should change the Metadata Title instead.
