Catalogs
Catalogs are the top-level organizational containers in your Digital Asset Manager (DAM). They group related stories and assets together, making it easy to browse and manage your media library by topic, project, or publication.
Key Features
- Catalog List: See all catalogs for the selected DAM site at a glance, with a live count of stories and assets in each
- Type Indicator: Each catalog is tagged as either a photo or video catalog so you can quickly identify its media type
- Collection Grouping: Catalogs can belong to a collection, letting you organize catalogs into broader categories
- Newsletter Settings: Each catalog can have a dedicated newsletter sender address for email distribution
- Story & Asset Counts: The list shows exactly how many stories and total assets each catalog contains
- View & Edit Actions: Click View or Edit on any row to inspect or modify a catalog's details
How to Use
- Select a DAM site from the site selector in the top bar — the catalog list loads automatically
- Browse the list to see all catalogs, their types, story counts, and asset totals
- Use the View button on any row to open the catalog's details
- Use the Edit button to update a catalog's name, type, collection, or newsletter settings
