  • 1.  Enable DAM Link Trigger on Properties for Repostiories

    Posted 02-21-2021 09:41

    Can someone share insight into how "Enable DAM Link Trigger" is used?  Currently, I setup Change Notification to setup the DAM links and wondering if the below setting would replace that?  If so, insight into how the below settings are used would be helpful.  Thank you.

    Hi Jeff,

    here is some info on how to set up DAM Link set up and use case for it.  This is based on our data model.



    DAM Link set up helps to auto link digital assets to products/materials repository.  Before setting up this, you need to set up Link Relationship DAM to DAMLink, and DAMLink to Material/Product repository, please see the screenshot shared below.   Let's say you have digital asset named with certain pattern: 123456_Main_product_shot.tiff and you want to auto link the asset to material/product called 123456. The DAM Link set up helps to achieve the goal.

    Here Attribute Linked to DAMFile Name Column is the key attribute that is linking DAMLink and Materials repository, it happens to be primary key of material repository – Material Number in the screenshot shown.

    Parsed Token Position is the way to identify the material number in a digital asset file name, in this case we are configuring it as first string (position 1) of file name with delimiter "_" (token).  We can use regular expression to identify the position and token as well.

    With this configuration, when you upload an asset file with name 123456_Main_product_shot.tiff, the asset gets automatically linked to material/product # 123456. 

    You can modify the set up based on your environment/data model. hope it helps, let me know if you have further questions.

    Jeff,

    It depends on when you need the links to be created.  The Enable DAM Link Trigger only fires when a file is uploaded, which means the record to which the file is going to be linked has to already be defined in the repository that is linked to the DAM.  Change notifications can be registered on any repository and fire when there are changes to those repositories.  For example, on CN_Registry (and accompanying CN_Transformation_Registry) event can be defined on DAMMaster, which while fire when there is a creation or update for a file, but a CN_Registry/CN_Tranformation_Registry event can also be defined on the repository is linked to the DAM.  That way if  a record is added to that repository AFTER the digital asset has been uploaded, the CN_Registry/CN_Transformation_Registry event will link the pre-existing digital asset to the record as well (the DAM Link Trigger would require re-uploading the asset).

    Another scenario that can be handled by Change Notification that the DAM Link Trigger will not is if image contexts are encoded in the file name, they can be interpreted by Change Notification.  For example SKU images may have the following file format: 

    <skuNumber>_<context>.<ext>,

    where:

    <skuNumber> - identifies the SKU record to which the assign needs to be assigned
    <context> - identifies the Image Context for the asset (e.g., Mx = Main (with priority x if there is more than one Main image), L = Left, R = Right, T = Top, etc.)
    <ext> - file extension
