Info

PIM assets can be uploaded as public or private.

  • Public: This is the default method for asset upload. Public assets will get published to marketplaces/channels and are able to be referenced via URL using attributes. Most assets will be public.

  • Private: By selecting private when uploading an asset, you only allow users who are logged in to the PIM to access the file. The file cannot be referenced via URL and will not get published to marketplaces or channels. This is intended for internal or sensitive information that needs to be associated with products.

Q2

There are two supported methods for adding assets to products in the PIM:

  1. Direct upload

  2. Upload from URL


1. Direct Upload

To upload images to products directly from your computer follow these steps:

...

Info

By default, Assets will get uploaded as Public (accessible). Therefore, if the file is intended to be used only internally by logged-in PIM users, select “Add it as private”

2. Via URL

To upload assets from a publicly accessible URL, follow these directions.

...

Note

Sometimes, images will not get imported correctly via the URL due to the nature in which they are published to the web. In these cases, save the file to your computer and upload it directly.

As a Mini DAM, you can perform a variety of actions on Assets that you have uploaded in the PIM.

1. Set A Thumbnail

The PIM allows you to designate an image as the thumbnail to use that image as primary when publishing to External System. Follow the steps below:

...

Info

To select a different image as the thumbnail repeat the steps on a different image.

2. Enable/Disable Assets Based on Channel

You can enable and disable specific assets based on channels. This means you can configure Jasper to publish an asset to one channel, and disable it for another channel.

  1. Add all assets to be used into Default.

  2. Navigate to the channel you want to override using the drop down.

  3. You can then enable/disable, or change thumbnail settings for that specific channel.

3.

...

  1. From the Assets tab, click on the gear icon under the “Action” next to the image labeled as thumbnail

  2. Select “Remove as thumbnail”

Info

Depending on your channel requirements this may cause the product to become invisible or be removed from the channel

...

Reorder Assets

To change the order in which product assets are displayed on the product pages you can reorder them in the PIM.
