Custom renditions in AEM Assets
I am wondering if there is a way to save renditions in AEM that are in essence individual assets? Here is an example:
- We have over 20 different lines of business and 4 separate brands. This leaves us with a lot of logos. And each logo has multiple variations: 4 color, 2 color, black and white, etc. Then there are separate file formats and resolutions for those as well.
- I do not trust any system to render logos out using presets so we have each of these created to meet our specific branding needs when it comes to the colors and their breakdowns.
- This leads to an oppressive amount of individual assets in the DAM that a user has to sift through and makes it difficult for non-creatives to know which file is the one they should use for their need.
I’m hoping there is a way to set up one asset in the DAM, we’ll call it Brand 1 Logo, and then upload the rest of the variants as renditions of that one asset that we can give titles to that are related to the use (For example, Large format print, Website header, Instagram graphic). Then when a user goes to download or link to the asset they are presented with a popup showing them the options they have to choose from for their download.
This approach will greatly simplify the user experience and allow us a more streamlined manner to manage these assets as well.
