How do I set up a Folder?
Folders, Smoulders - you don't need Folders.
Brandkit does not use folders - we use Tags, and Asset metadata attributes instead to organise and find assets in smart collections.
Think of Tags as a modern more flexible folder idea. That is, a collection of files.
To organise Assets into collections, In Brandkit, we have,
- Tags
- Licences
- Brands
- Asset Type
- File Type
- Orientation
- Vaults
...as ways of organising assets into collections of Assets (pseudo folders).
One important difference.
One of the benefits of a no folder approach is that an Asset, can be in many places at once (i.e. have many Tags or Brands), without having to store or manage multiple copies of the Asset. A big advantage over crusty old folders.
Note: Vault and Licence is the exception here, an Asset can only belong to a single Vault and Licence.
Things you can do with Tagged collections
One of the things you can do with Tags is to create what we call pre-configured Content Stories, using Tags combined with Landing Page widgets and/or custom navigation.
These preconfigured searches can use one or multiple tags, and be triggered by a range of landing page widgets or custom navigation/menu items.
Talk to your Brandkit Account Manager or Brandkit support on how to set these up in your Portal.
How do I set up a Folder?
Brandkit replaces folders with tags and other collections (Licences, Brands, Asset Type, File Type, Orientation, Vaults) to organize assets. Tags allow assets to exist in multiple collections without duplicates. Vaults and Licences are single-assignment. You can create pre-configured Content Stories from tagged collections and link them to landing pages. Talk to support to set up.
