Change and (de-)activate the standard view for Media Pool files

There are 3 different view typed for files in a container - the list view, thumbnails and the download view.
Portal Masters can set a standard view by going to Tools & Administration > Media Pool and clicking on "General".

In the "File-Views" area you can (de-)activate views and set a standard view in the dropdown.

DMS Import

You can import the entire folder structure from your DMS - to do so go to a folder in the Media Pool, click the blue "Actions" button and select "Import". In the "DMS" area you can select the folder(s) that you want to import. If activated, the "Check" option checks for existing files in the entire Media Pool in order to avoid duplicates.

You can import DMS folders into the backend Media Pool as well as into a group Media Pool.

Forward Media Pool resources

You can forward a Media Pool file by clicking on the "Forward" Button of the individual file. Enter the recipient´s email address, an optional comment and click "Submit".

Set start- & end date for Media Pool files

From now on you can set individual start-, end- and reference dates for Media Pool files.
To do so, go to the "Resources" tab in the Media Pool, find your file in the "Resources" tab and click on "Edit".
Enter the dates in the "Time Frame" section.

Set storage limit for groups, users and companies

You can set a global Media Pool storage space limit for all existing and future users. Go to the settings under Tools & Administration > Media Pool > General. You can set the maximum available storage space in the "Storage space (Limit Default-Value)" section.

Additionally you can set individual storage space limit for each group. To do so, go to the group, click on the blue action button and on "Settings". In the "Portal Master: Settings" section you can set an individual storage space for the current group.

What file types/extensions are allowed?

You can upload any format without any restrictions.

What is the maximum file size that can be uploaded?

Here there exist only general limitations like the portal storage space and any limits that are set under Tools & Administration > Media Pool > Storage > Limits.

What's a Tag Cloud?

A tag cloud contains the most popular tags, independent of the element (e.g. blogs, wiki article, documents, etc.) they belong to. The single tags of the tag cloud can be clicked and the matching results get displayed.

When adding tags is there any form of sanity check to ensure people don't use certain "dirty" words, or are people free to add what they like?

You can manage settings for tags under Tools & Administration > Tags > Settings.

Here you can choose between an a) Text Field or b) Checkboxes.
With the option a) there is no dirty words filter in place.
With the option b) the Portal Master can specify tags, which can then be selected.

Who is able to access and manage the "Details & Versions" section?

Currently until and including v. 8.1.007 only the File Manager with the permission "fm_access" can manage the details section.

From v. 8.1.008 on, everyone with the permission to edit files is able to upload new versions.
For example - in groups this will be available for the Group Manager and Network Manager and could be available for group users, depending on what the Group Manager specified under Actions > Settings > Permissions individually in their group.
All details and settings in this section are still only available to the File Manager with the permission "fm_access".

Why can't I unpack my .zip file?

If at least one file of the .zip package contains a special character in the file name, then the .zip file cannot be unpacked. In this case please replace the special characters with "regular" characters and try it again.
