Beyond Folders: Create Rich, Contextual Asset Experiences with DAMVIA Collections & Pages

Transform how you organize and present your digital assets with flexible collections and interactive pages that add context and narrative to your visuals.

Static Folders Lack Context & Flexibility

Traditional folder systems are limited in how they can organize and present digital assets:

  • • Assets can only exist in a single location
  • • No ability to add context or narrative around assets
  • • Limited options for presentation and sharing
  • • Restructuring means physically moving files
  • • No personal organization systems for individual users

For product-lead businesses that need to organize assets by multiple criteria and share them in context-rich experiences, traditional folders are insufficient.

DAMVIA Collections: Flexible & Efficient Asset Grouping

DAMVIA Collections go beyond folders to provide intelligent, flexible asset organization:

  • • Virtual References: Assets can exist in multiple collections without duplication
  • • Manual or Dynamic: Create manual collections or rule-based dynamic ones that auto-update
  • • Nested Organization: Collections within collections for hierarchical organization
  • • Targeted Sharing: Share specific collections with external parties with granular permission control
  • • Sync with Folders: Optionally sync collections with your cloud storage folders

Empower Your Workflow with Private Collections: Your Personal DAM Space

DAMVIA's unique Private Collections feature gives each user their own personal space within the DAM environment, allowing for personalized organization without affecting others.

  • • Create personal working collections only visible to you
  • • Organize assets according to your specific workflow needs
  • • Prepare collections before publishing to others
  • • Eliminate "folder clutter" for other team members
  • • Convert private collections to shared ones with a single click

Use Case: Creative Director Workflow

A Creative Director working on a new product campaign can:

  1. Create a private "Spring Campaign 2024" collection
  2. Add candidate visuals from various folders across the DAM
  3. Organize them into sub-collections for different channels
  4. Refine the selection without affecting other users
  5. Once finalized, convert to a shared collection for the marketing team
  6. Transform it into an interactive Page with campaign guidelines

This entire process happens without duplicate assets or disrupting the main asset organization.
