View related assets

Asset relations are used to link similar or otherwise related assets to one another. You can view a selected asset's relations in the "Asset Relation" detail view tab:

For each related asset, a preview image is displayed on the left side of the tab. In the middle section of the tab, information about each relation is shown. This includes the creation date for the relation and who created it, which version of the related asset the relation was established with, and the direction of the

The above screenshot shows existing relations for the currently selected asset "User_Guide_EN.pdf". The relations in this case read as follows:

Filter relations

At the top of the detail view tab, you can filter the related assets by different aspects:

Show only relations of a specific relation type
Show only relations with a specific direction
Show only relations with a specific status (Broken relations or outdated versions).

Relations with outdated versions are relations that were established to an earlier version of the related asset. If asset C is related to version 2 of asset D and asset D gets a new version (version 3), then the relation to it will be shown as outdated in asset C's detail view. In asset D's detail view, all established relations are removed, because relations are always tied to a specific asset version. Outdated versions are marked with the icon.

Broken relations are relations that were established to a now deleted asset. If asset A is related to asset B and asset B is deleted, then the relation to it will be shown as broken in asset A's detail view. Broken relations are marked with the icon and the deleted asset's preview and name are removed from the detail view tab.

Which relation types are there?

By default, you can set only the "Language variant" relation type within the CELUM Content application. If you are using CELUM's Adobe creative.connect or Microsoft^®office.connect desktop integrations, all assets which are linked to an Adobe or Microsoft^® Office^® document are automatically related to the document, which is also saved to the CELUM Content server.

Various CELUM Content extensions require additional relation types, which the technical server administrator can configure.

Why can I create a relation for some assets, but not for others?

The most likely explanation is that you don't have the necessary permissions to establish the relation. The out-of-the-box relation types only require that you are able to view both the source and the target asset, but there may be other permissions required for custom relations.
