Collections are used to group assets in an organized manner and share to others, including non-Content Hub users. This allows University Communications and Marketing to share sets of assets with other units or media outlets.
Collections can be created using two methods. Follow the steps below for more information.
Click the Assets tab on the navigation bar.
Check the box at the top left corner of each asset thumbnail for assets to be included in the collection. Selected assets will be outlined with dark green and a checkmark appears in the corner. The toolbar at the top of the page updates to indicate the number of assets selected.
Click Add to collection.
Click + Create new at the bottom of the window.
To add assets to an existing collection:
Click the Assets tab on the navigation bar.
Tip: First, confirm that your selection is cleared to be sure no assets are inadvertently added to your collection. If a number appears at the top right corner and the box on the right has a horizontal line present, there are assets actively selected. Click the box to clear the selection. (See Figure 1.)
Click + Add existing items to open a search panel to select assets. Check the box on each thumbnail to be added to the collection and click Add.
Note: The search and filter functionality are limited in this view. For more robust search options, use Method 1, above, to add assets to a collection.
Note: Only University Communications and Marketing staff have Content Hub access. To share with a Sitecore user outside of UCAM use the instructions below for sharing with non-Content Hub users.
