Our image upload process (OOTB I think) includes the creation of a few thumbnails specifically required for use on AEM screens only. But they appear as static renditions for each image, and are also options for download. I've read that the display of these can be limited by using the 'image preset listing' and 'image preset datasource ' nodes. Couple of questions 1/  Are these renditions actually needed just for AEM internal use ?If they are - it seems crazy that the default is to display them to users and to show them as download options when they have no relevance to users. 2/ Does changing the node setting also remove these renditions from being download options ?I assume not. Also presumably changing the number of static renditions displayed would include limiting any user generated image presets being displayed too.These are likely to be always needed as they are user generated. Thanks

Hi TeamI am not able sync changes of ui-frontend module either using vscode aem sync extension or mvn command. Please let me know how to sync. ui-frontend module changes to do the unit testing or debugging as part of frontend module changes.  1) Using VS Code AEM Sync, I  am able to sync changes ui-apps but not ui-frontend module changes.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yamato-ltd.vscode-aem-sync2) Using below mvn command able see the changes to ui-apps but not able deploy directly changes to AEM Server unless deploy ui-apps modules (first build the frontend module then deploy the ui-apps module)frontend module: mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage  (can I use mvn clean install also because we are not able to deploy the changes to aem server)then ui-apps module :mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackageRegardsVara

Hi Team when we create AEM Project it's also created module "ui.apps.structure". what is Use, benefits & use case scenario for "ui.apps.structure" module? Note: ui-apps is very important module which having components what don't know what "ui.apps.structure" module having is its nice to have this module? RegardsVara

Hi Team Can you please let me know what are advantages or scenario we need use AEM Project Modules it.test & ui.test ?  Currently we are writing Junit  testcases for backend logic in core module itself .what is recommendations here for better maintained or organizing the of codebase. RegardsVara 

Hi Team Currently we are not having any frontend codebase in ui-frontend module level ,only we maintaining at  component level . Is there any recommendation or advantages handling ui-frontend module level instead of component level  for better performance. RegardsVara

Hi Team,We have been told that customer has requirement to persist between 8000+ to 15,000+ assets in each folder in AEM instance. Based on my past experience (AEM 6.1) having 1000+ assets will have performance impact on asset lazy loading + search collection update. Could you please advise the threshold on the file count going into each folder for AEM 6.5?

Hi all,I am currently exploring the potential for bulk importing assets from the Google Cloud Console to the AEM DAM. I have successfully established a connection following the documentation provided here https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/assets-view/bulk-import-assets-view. My next step is to investigate whether it's possible to add a metadata field from the Google Cloud Console to the AEM DAM. If anyone has insights or experience with this, please let me know.Thank you in advance! Regards,Bhavani Bharanidharan.

Hi, we've uploaded over a 1000 assets with 7 smart crops set in the image profile. We now want to add 3 more smart crops - and apply them to all existing images. We can do this by running the 'dynamic media re-process assets' workflow. BUT.... any adjustments to smart crop setting on any of those original images are LOST when we run that workflow. Does anyone know how we can get the new smart crops available to existing assets WITHOUT losing any of the changes already made ? Thanks

In AEM DAM, we can search assets based on exact values of metadata fields, such as, title, description, and creator. For example, title:John  Same way when we search for a user-generated/custom property, with its field label in the property editor in lowercase, with spaces removed then we are getting error as shown in attachment.  Also, we are not able to search assets based on metadata fields in Brand Portal as well. (for custom and default fields both)

Hello Community,I'm working on a project for a major newspaper in Brazil, where we've developed a simple wizard to help authors publish their articles more quickly.Everything functions well overall, but we are encountering an issue with the image upload times when using the API (initiate-upload).https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/admin/developer-reference-material-apis#initiate-upload To give you a better idea, uploading images directly through the Assets is quite fast, with images being published in less than a minute.However, when we use the API, it takes significantly longer—about 5 to 7 minutes per image.This difference is puzzling and is affecting our publication process.I've detailed the API usage and payload here: image-renditions-delay.pdfHas anyone here dealt with similar issues, or does anyone have insights into what might be causing these delays?Any suggestions on how to improve our image upload times would be

Hey all! Question about images in a DAM and multi-language versions of that image's meta data. In 6.5 or Cloud, when a language copy or a live copy gets created (in the backend), does the actual image file get duplicated or is it completely a reference? I am wondering in regards to storage space as we have thousands of images that need translated meta (title...etc) data.

Hello,I am working with Dynamic Media Classic templates to create graphics. The final size of the asset is much smaller than the template I set up. I have the Canvas size set to 2720x680px. Yet the graphic it produces is only 1280x320. I have not made the size a parameter and I am not using any presets or profiles on the URL.Here is the URL for reference: https://s7d9.scene7.com/is/image/streamcompanies/SchumacherLincoln%5F2000x500%5FLeaseSlide?$VehicleVIN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&$total_due_at_signing=XXXXXXX&$COLORSUB=%5Cred225%5Cgreen74%5Cblue52&$FONTSUB=Lincoln%20Proxima%20Nova%20Light&$model=Model&$FONTMAIN=LincolnMillerB%20Black&$drivetrain=DRIVETRAIN&$trim=TRIM&$BKG=streamcompanies%2F6309AGY7147%5FSlideDefault&$year=Year&$payment_per_month=XXXXXXX&$VEHICLE=streamcompanies%2Fvehicle%5Fplaceholder&$monthly_terms=XX&$COLORMAIN=%5Cred255%5Cgreen255%5Cblue255&$DISCLAIMER=Lorem%20ipsum%20dolor%20sit%20amet%2C%20consectetur%20adipis

Hi, My organization is interested in demoing Brand Portal. I have access to an AEM Assets/Sites personal sandbox through Adobe Learning Path and I'm curious whether I can do a sandbox environment of Brand Portal.  Is this possible? If not, are there any other ways my organization can demo/sandbox Brand Portal? Thank you,Morgan

Hello, Can Images be displayed in a full featured “Object Viewer” that will not block screen capture? Could images will be displayed in a full featured “Object Viewer” that will include options for emailing the asset via download link?

We have a view requirements for an asset management platform. Can users add assets to collections for future use? Can these only be viewable by the individual user and saved for their profile? Can Users create multiple collections?  Does the system have the ability to automatically deactivate assets once they’ve reached their expiration date? Will the assets be moved into the Archive cloud storage only accessible by the System Administrator? Are archived assets clearly labeled as deactivated and archived? Can the System Administrator search for and reactivate archived and deactivated assets?   

Hello fellow AEM Asset users, We would like to associate a source image(s) that were used in multiple pdf files.  We would like to avoid duplicating the source file in separate sub-folders for which the images was used in the multiple pdfs.  Please advise AEM Assets best practices in doing so, that would allow a user to navigate quickley to the associated assets used in a pdf.  Additionally if edits were made to the pdf, how to keep up with these relationships automatically. Thank you.Suzanne

When opening our AEM Essentials DAM last week, the search landing page had a new search option beside the standard ‘Search’ and ‘Browse Assets’: ‘Contextual Search’. We did nothing to enable this feature. We don’t feel the need for it to be an offering to our team at this point in time and would like to remove it. I found instructions for how this search feature can be disabled however my general settings (as well as a colleague's) do not have a Contextual Search section neither does our Console Administrator.Steps described in Search and discover assets in Assets Essentials | Adobe Experience ManagerDisable Contextual SearchAdministrators also have the option to disable Contextual Search for users in your organization. To do so, execute the following steps:1. Navigate to Settings > General Settings.2. In the Contextual Search section, turn off the Enable Contextual Search for your organization toggle to disable the Contextual Search feature for all users in your organizat

Hello, We do have the following problem: We have a bunch of colleagues who bring their own Creative Cloud licence attached to their Adobe ID. Now they need to use a workflow, which requires Asset Link. To access our AEM Assets instance, they need to use a Federated ID. Unfortunately the Asset Link plugin for InDesign does not have its own login routine, but uses the account, InDesign is connected to. As the Adobe ID as well as the Federated ID have the same E-Mail address, this setup is not working.Although it is not really comprehensible. Sometimes it shows a message, that access is not allowed, as an enterprise account is required. Sometimes the Asset Link plugin is working, but if links have to be updated, from time to time after searching and selecting the link, InDesign says that access to the file is not allowed. Is there a way to decouple the AssetLink plugin login from the Creative Cloud application?Thanks in advance. RegardsLars

Can the system provide a “recently downloaded” section for all user types so the end user can easily reference what they recently downloaded? Are System Administrators and Power Users able to review and reference recent downloads for individual users, as well as review which users downloaded which asset? 

I'd love to establish an easy visual for our end users to know which brands specific assets can be used for. Some assets can be used for all brands and other only specific ones. We don't have teams dedicated specifically to those specific brands so governance of this becomes challenging. If we could incorporate a visual into the image preview showing the end user which brands can use the specific assets that would be exceptionally helpful. And if we could tie that specific graphic to a custom field that would be even better. For example if we tag the field called "Brand" with "Brand A" then the Brand A logo appears in the space shown. See attached screenshot of what I'd love to be able to accomplish. You'll notice the small brand icons towards the bottom of the image preview card. If it can't be done with custom icons it would even be helpful if we could add color specific icons like many other DAMs have. Does anyone know of a way to establish anything remotely similar to this in AEM?

Hi,Is it possible to overlay the file upload dialog in aem so that when we get a name conflict we can show other options, e,g create version for working copy and create version for upload file etc, replace will also work differently.so how can we overlay without actually copying fileupload.js

I am trying to download image thumb nails or original from DAM and show on another web page hosted by another server. Here is my Java servlet: public void downloadImage(String img_name) throws IOException { String asset_api = "https://dam.company.com/api/assets/products/" + img_name + "/renditions/cq5dam.thumbnail.319.319.png"; try { URL url = new URL(asset_api); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream"); conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic xxxxxxxxx"); conn.setDoOutput(true); System.out.println("resp=" + conn.getResponseCode() + " - " + conn.getResponseMessage()); ...... } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } }But it got error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. I can opened asset_api on the browser directly and it absolutely exists and works fine. Do I need to set permission for running AEM HTTP API for account used in this servlet or nee

I need to do a bulk delete operation on a folder with a large amount of nodes as the folder we migrated had a lot more junk in it than was originally expected.  So we want to scrap the folder and re-migrate correctly.  However, I have to go folder by folder essentially using the UI delete button.  Is there a better way that I can do a delete in bulk?  I don't have access or ability to change the code but I can leverage something like Postman to hit an OOTB API if necessary.  Just seeing what options I have here.

Some svg images are not showing up in the asset preview and not working when we drag and drop in the file upload field.

Hi TeamCan we use  ui.tests module for code coverage & automation Testcases executions. Can you please let me know, what we can do using ui.test modules and difference Cypress based UI tests( ui.tests.cypress & Selenium based UI tests(ui.tests.wdio) which is recommended to achieve the code coverage and automation testcase. which maven command need to use to work on in this module? mvn clean test or mvn clean install  RegardsVara
