Adobe Experience Manager Assets

Hi everyone! I'm Jeff, I manage our Experience Cloud webinars at Adobe. I wanted to invite everyone to our upcoming AEM webinar next Wednesday on building a scalable DAM strategy. You can register via the link below. Even if you can't make it, you'll receive the recording! Link to register

Within Asset UI/AEMaaCS/AEM Assets when filters are applied while searching, they are cleared after navigating away from the page or if a user refreshes the screen. It would be beneficial to the user experience if the filters remained applied so the user doesn't have to reapply the same filters. This isn't something that can be configured or controlled.

I have an OSGi service that uses the WorkflowService API to programmatically trigger the "Update Asset" workflow that's forever been found at:/var/workflow/models/dam/update_assetIt's missing in AEM Assets as a Cloud Service and I can't find clear documentation on triggering its equivalent. Does anyone here have advice on what needs to be done to trigger this or its equivalent from inside an OSGi service in Assets as a Cloud Service? Note: The workflow model still exists in the Quickstart Jar from Software Distribution, so everything works fine for me locally. For context: The reason why we're triggering the workflow is because we have custom OSGi code that pulls proprietary data from other systems and creates and updates both image Assets and Content Fragments. Updated images will create new Revisions of Assets through the AssetsManager API. The Update Asset workflow doesn't seem to fire the way it would if you manually made these same changes, so we're triggering the Update

Hi Team, Does anyone know the steps involved to make AEM Assets defined taxonomy (hierarchical tags) available in Content Hub? (as filters, upload metadata, and search)Although some tags related choices show in the selector, these are not our custom defined ones. The configuration panel is very well made and easy to understand. But it is somewhat surprising that this essential part is not directly available.Thanks for your insights.

HelloI would like to understand what all file formats does DM supports. I understand that DM is primarily for delivering media files like images, videos, audio etc. But can we use DM to deliver files like docx, xlx, ppt, pdf etc which are uploaded to AEM and synced with DM. Does that make any sense doing so?Thanks

We are looking for recommendations on how to effectively use the Asset Selector dialog in AEM with NextGen Dynamic Media and a large number of assets, like 1M+. We use Asset Selector with the AEM core components and the OOB search is very rudimentary: you can only search by keywords and filter by file and mime types. Folders aren't supported. In AEM it takes Log(N) number of clicks to drill down into the hierarchy and select an asset. With the Asset Selector it can easily take minutes, and it's way less intuitive. We understand that internally NextGen Dynamic Media uses a non-hierarchical storage where assets are keyed by UUID, but if the origin (AEM) supports hierarchies it would be great to support it in Asset Selector. Collections aren't supported either. There is a Collections tab in the dialog but it says "Collections not supported" no matter what.  The keyword search does not support all metadata fields, like IPTC, Camera Data and custom. It seems to support o

After purchasing Adobe’s Digital Asset Management solution, metadata is the most critical aspect while starting your asset management journey. Managing metadata gets completely out of the control of the administrators once the assets are distributed to the users. Effective asset metadata ensures better search, which is the ultimate destination for any DAM tool.Here are the recommended steps that you must execute before starting to migrate your assets to AEM: Step 1: How would you filter the assets that exist in the repository? Answer this question and create the list of fields that you need.Think about your users on how they will search assets that exist in the repository and then work backward to create such properties for your assets. Step 2: Revisit all existing properties and eliminate redundant onesLook for properties that seem irrelevant or duplicates of the existing properties and remove them from the list of required properties for Adobe’s DAM. Step 3: Segregate the properties

Hi All, I have a scheduler, which scans assets and looks for expiring and send email notifications.Here problem is instead of 1 email i am receiving 4 email for same content. I had deployed code with with different cron expression in config file, seems all of them storing as a different PID. How do we make sure only one PID runs. here is my schedule job Class is made Runnable with immediate truehave OCD properties and below schedule options @Activateprotected void activate(Config cfg) { this.config = cfg; removeJob(); scheduleJob(cfg);}@Modifiedprotected void modified(Config cfg) { removeJob(); this.config = cfg; scheduleJob(cfg);}@Deactivateprotected void deactivate() { removeJob();}private void scheduleJob(Config cfg) { if (!cfg.enabled()) { LOG.info("AssetExpiryScheduler disabled by config."); return; } this.jobId = cfg.schedulerName(); ScheduleOptions opts = scheduler.EXPR(cfg.scheduler_expression()); opts.name(j

I have a requirement for creating multiple renditions for asset on upload. Hence, I have modified the OOTB DAM Update Asset Workflow to create multiple web renditions. The workflow runs fine on the assets. I was trying to use AEM ACS Commons Bulk Workflow Manger to run the workflow on the existing assets which are in millions. The issue I am facing is while using the Bulk Workflow Manager, selecting Bulk Workflow Runner > AEM Workflow, the renditions gets created properly. Whereas on selecting Bulk Workflow Manager > Synthetic (Single Threaded) or Synthetic (Multiple Threaded), the renditions doesn't get created properly although the Workflow execution is completed for all the assets. To replicate the issue:AEM Version: 6.5.20ACS AEM Commons: 6.2.0 / 6.5.0 (Tested with both versions) 1. Add web rendition creation step in DAM Update Workflow2. Make the DAM Update Workflow as NON-TRANSIENT (To have the logs track on workflow execution)2. Use ACS AEM Commons, Bulk Workflow

I have a requirement to add a custom column to the list view inside a collection in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Could anyone guide me on how to achieve this? 

We have use cases (mainly for print purposes) where we need to be able to have assets rendered out to different file types. For example, we may have a large ful size tiff that the end user needs as a jpg. The current process for creating renditions appears to require those renditions to be created and take up storage in the system at asset processing. And then there is not a way for end users to select the rendition they need when they download the asset(s) or link to them via Asset Link. I'd like to be able to set up what the renders need to do (ex. convert file to jpg) but not have the file rendered out until the end user clicks to download it. I'd like for them to see the render options for the file when they click download and then select the render they want. Is there a way to handle this now in AEM or would this be a feature request?

The videos added in Dynamic media components via experience fragment aretaking too long to render on the page. The lazy loading checkbox is checked.Whereas it works fine when it's added as an individual component.

Hi Community,We’re running into an issue with Dynamic Media previews on AEM as a Cloud Service Author.When viewing assets in the Asset Details view or when browsing Dynamic Media image presets in the side rail, the thumbnails and previews fail to load. Looking at the network calls, the preview URLs are being generated like this:https://author-xxxxx.adobeaemcloud.com/is/image/...?$preset-lg$ These requests return 403 or 404 since /is/image/ is not available on the author domain in Cloud Service.However, when we copy the rendition URL or use RESS, the URL points correctly to the Scene7 CDN:https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/...?$preset-lg$ So the problem seems to be that the AEM Author UI is picking data-imageserver=/is/image/ instead of data-production-imageserver=https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/ when building the preview URLs. Questions:Is this a known limitation/bug in AEM as a Cloud Service (that the Author UI still tries to render previews via /is/image/)?Should we exp

@apoguptaI am searching for more information on how to use different details in the DM/S7 url, in place of the name of the asset. Right now with the asset name, it is a security issue as it leads directly to accessibility of our visual asset by product id, ,which is in the name. We have heard a different type of url can be created with some other data, ex: asset id, to increase security for the url by removing the ability to guess if you have the product id. It has been difficult to find information on this topic directly from Adobe. I have found in some AI or other search results and from third parties. However, we would like the official answer and confirm the information from Adobe please. Our current set-up:Adobe AEMaaCS with Dynamic Media Classic used to send assets downstream.Example URL:  images.mycompany.com/is/image/products/1011C052_401_SR_RT$sfcc-product$1011C052_401_SR_RT would be substituted with other data instead, but still link to this specific asset

Hi AEM Community,I'm implemented web optimized URL feature of Dynamic Media for custom components.I'm following the documentation to create a proxy OSGi service that can deliver web optimized images. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/developing/advanced/web-optimized-image-delivery-java-apis The code is deployed to all AEM cloud environments. Now the code works on lower environment like DEV and RDE which are using the same Company root folder. Example: companynamedevBut AssetDelivery is retuning "null" in higher environments like STAGE and PROD which are using same Company root folder. Example: companynameprod Any help in debugging and fixing the issue is highly appreciated.  Thanks.  

Hi team,  We've been manually uploading assets to AEM Assets for a few months, but we are ready to use the native metadata mapping integration provided by Workfront. We've tested the native integration and we are able to map metadata from Workfront to AEM Assets fields, but we have been unable to map metadata from Workfront to our AEM Assets tags. For example, we have a custom form with a dropdown field that allows us to capture the intended audience for a specific asset. We would like map that dropdown audience field in Workfront to our audience tag in AEM Assets. Has anyone done this or know how to do it? This could be a big win for our team if we are able to map this information. Thanks in advance! Best,E

Scaling Content Distribution with Adobe Marketing Hub by Diana PetersonI’m excited to share with you Adobe’s own implementation of AEM Assets Content Hub, which we co-brand as Adobe Marketing Hub. I’m responsible for this implementation and for how Adobe has successfully onboarded the Experience Manager Content Hub to scale content distribution to over 40,000 users - employees and agencies globally - across regions and different business units. This Content Hub is: transforming our ability to easily locate assets to reuse, and remix - using Adobe’s generative AI capabilities - thus getting more value from the content we have reducing our cost of maintaining the Content Hub, as we are configuring a product, as opposed to the cost of a team of developers to code and maintain a custom brand portal.  Branding and Customization At Adobe, we have branded our Content Hub as the Adobe Marketing Hub, and it's been incredibly easy to configure and align with our existing branding. By simply goin

Are you able to add subfolders in the "New" folder of an asset contribution folder and still have it work as a contribution folder in the Brand Portal? We are using asset contribution folders in the Brand Portal to serve as an the upload point for assets being created for projects. But many of these projects need to have some structure to the assets they are sending. For example, we have a project for digital banners but need to organize them by the channel they serve. I was hoping to do this by adding a folder structure under the "New" folder and then have the contribution functionality handed down to the children in there. Is that doable or does every subfolder then have to be a separate contribution folder?

We’ve long envisioned an AEM Assets landing page that goes beyond a static entry point—a page that unifies our solution, reflects the customer journey, and serves as a central resource during stakeholder and customer conversations. I’m excited to share that this vision has now taken shape. We’ve created a new, comprehensive AEM Assets landing page designed to: Provide a structured, narrative-driven experience Serve as a go-to resource for PM leaders, engineering teams, PMM leads, and field representatives Highlight our most strategic capabilities across the product   Explore the new landing page:https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/overview   The content is organized into seven core categories, each with quick access to top features and supporting documentation: Asset Ingestion: Covers Asset Link, Desktop App, and Bulk Import Tool AI-powered Features: Includes Smart Tags, Color Tagging, AI-generated Metadata, Bulk Re

I’m part of the AEM Dynamic Media team. We collaborate with customers and partners to promote the adoption of Dynamic Media and share the best practices. Occasionally, we notice customer concerns regarding blurry or dull images delivered through Dynamic Media. Upon investigating these cases, I’ve identified three common reasons that can be effectively resolved by applying a few straightforward best practices. In this article, I’ll outline these practices and demonstrate how Dynamic Media can transform a high-resolution 26 MB TIFF file into a sharp, vibrant 35.6 KB AVIF image. Three Reasons Behind Blurry Images Ingesting low quality imagesWe’ve observed that customers often use JPEG files as input for Dynamic Media. However, since JPEG is a lossy compression format, image details are often lost early in the workflow—before the files are even ingested into Dynamic Media. As a result, these images may already exhibit issues such as banding or compression artifacts. Overlooking Image Sharp

Hello I have a requirement to create API end points to access and do the following in Adobe Experience Cloud Assets,a. Browse assets in a paginated mannerb. Filter assets based on the metadata by applying 1 or more filters at the same time (including custom metadata)c. Search through the assetsd. Download assetsDoes the experience cloud assets have specific APIs to do the same? Or could we use assets API for this? I could not find anything from the documentation on how could I programmatically access experience cloud assets. Any directions or documentation would be much appreciated.Thanks

When we apply filters in AEM Assets UI to narrow down searches, refreshing the page wipes the filters previously applied. Is this expected behaviour? Ideally the filters would remain applied until they are cleared by the user, so the user doesn't have to reapply the filters.Thanks, Niall

 I filter for specific files and I wish to batch edit one field.  If the selected assets are located in different folders, the schema displayed is the OOTB basic schema.  All files selected use the same custom schema.  Is they a solution to be able to batch edit across folders maintaining the custom schema we use for all assets? Thank you.Jim P

Hello, We are planning to transition to Adobe Assets on Adobe Cloud and would like to clarify a couple of points:1.Is Content Hub included as part of Adobe Assets, or does it require a separate license?2.Can assets be shared externally with users outside our firewall? Currently, we use Brandfolder, which allows external users to download assets. Is a similar external sharing experience possible with Content Hub or Adobe Assets?3.Are there any recommended workarounds or solutions within Adobe Assets to enable external asset sharing possibly with UI where assets are organized and can be downloaded? Any pointers would be appreciated.
