Create assets

The central tool for uploading assets to CELUM Content is the upload basket, which is part of the dock. You can upload assets via the upload basket in two ways:

Via drag & drop

1. Select one or multiple assets in your local file system.

2. Drag them onto the dock, which turns dark to indicate that the assets can be dropped there.

3. Release the mouse button to drop the assets.

4. The assets are added to the upload basket.

Via upload button

1. Click the upload button in the dock.

2. Your local file system's file chooser dialog opens.

3. Select one or multiple assets and confirm the dialog.

4. The assets are added to the upload basket as new assets.

As a super-administrator, you can import multiple nodes including assets within them into CELUM Content via system tasks:

• The "Import Hotfolder" system task is available out of the box

  The configuration and behavior of the hotfolder import task is described in the Administrator Guide in the Customer Knowledge Base.

• The "Importer" functionality requires a product extension
  

  This product extension may require additional licensing costs!

  Please see the dedicated Importer guide for your installed version in the Customer Knowledge Base.

CELUM offers several powerful APIs that allow you to create new assets programmatically or to allow your own customers to create assets via self-developed extensions.

• The SOAP API, which is based on the SOAP protocol and can be used to extend and integrate into CELUM Content

• The SDK, which is CELUM's own powerful API

Synchronizing a node with CELUM Drive will equally synchronize all assets inside. You can create new assets directly inside the CELUM location on your local file system and they will be uploaded as new assets.
