Collaborate on designs

In the middle of the creation process, the opinion of a colleague or the approval of your customer is important. No matter the file size, with the one-click share feature, you can share your design in progress and have it approved, commented on or rated.

This makes collaboration faster, while keeping your design file, comments and approvals in one place.

With upload requests you can gather designs or images. Create an upload link, and your external designer or photographer can add their files. You will see the updates directly in your collection!

Metadata

The true value of your intellectual property is enhanced by proper categorization of your files. Whether it’s for re-use of licensed images or for monetizing your archived content, proper metadata makes sure you get the maximum out of your files.

WoodWing Assets allows you to manage over 400 metadata fields and supports the international metadata standards (IPTC, EXIF, XMP, Dublin core). In addition, you can create an unlimited number of custom metadata fields to help you store non-standard information.

Built-in taxonomy support helps you to organize assets using a predefined, hierarchical tree of classifications. This assists with unified classification and a reduction of errors.

Would you like all of your final designs visualized in one screen, or an instant overview of expired images? Flags can visualize an asset’s status, expiry date or copyright.

Folders and collections

WoodWing Assets helps you to organize and store your files in a structured way. Existing file servers or archives can be imported and WoodWing Assets will keep the current structure. Alternatively, you can build a new folder structure from scratch.

Collections serve a more temporary purpose, such as a project that needs to be kept together, designs that need to be shared or a photoshoot that needs to be uploaded. You can gather files from anywhere in WoodWing Assets and create, share or download a collection. Files can be in multiple collections without being duplicated and shared collections will automatically update when changes are made.

Control permissions

As an asset manager, you get full control over what your WoodWing Assets users can do with your files.

Control permissions

Intellectual property, embargo dates or licensing are important for any digital asset manager. WoodWing Assets gives you extensive control over who can see, edit or use your digital assets.

Permissions can be configured to determine who can view, download or edit digital assets. These can be applied on a general folder level, and more specifically on metadata fields like status, copyright, date or a geographical restriction. Built-in watermarking helps you to identify the usage permissions

On-the-fly renditions

While the final versions of your marketing materials may be organized, sometimes people need a different resolution, size or file format. Within WoodWing Assets they can create the desired version of the banner or product shot.

You can create presets for most-wanted versions such as a version for web, or a print ready version. Next to that, users can also set their own download specifications.
