The Media Detail

Once an asset has been added to the Asset Library, you can click on the asset and open the Media Detail. From this page you can manage the asset by setting Tags, Deleting the asset, Applying the asset to multiple products, or setting a Scheduled Start and End Date/Time. This also where you can access the Wayfinding module to setup a wayfinding map on your asset.

Deleting Assets

Assets can be deleted by clicking on the asset and clicking the ‘Delete‘ button from the Media Detail page. If an asset is being used in a layout or playlist, you will be prompted to remove the asset from that layout or playlist before deleting the file. To override this, or to delete multiple assets at once, you can click on the ‘Action’ button at the top right of the library and select ‘Delete’. Click on each asset line you want to delete (each will highlight in blue), the click the ‘Process’ button. This will also remove assets from any playlists.
