If you have enabled one or more of the Intended Use features, your users will be prompted to indicate how they plan to use assets before they are downloaded or shared. Intended use, along with email addresses for someone not logged in to your site, can be collected when the features are enabled. Collecting intended use and email addresses allows you to not only see assets that are downloaded and shared but also provides visibility into how those assets are being used - specifically, who is downloading and sharing them and for what purpose. Note that collecting intended use is not available in the mobile app.
Intended use options span from print to emails to presentations to website placement. An “other” option is available, with additional space to explain an asset's use. Users can enter up to 255 characters to describe the intended use. You can also create intended use options in the Admin app.
The intended use users initially select is saved and applied to all assets they subsequently download or share. They can change the intended use at any time.
When users or someone who isn't logged in to the site download or share a batch of assets, the intended use selected applies to all assets in the batch.
If a EULAis configured before assets are downloaded or shared, it will be presented. Refer to intended use data, including how assets are used and by whom. To access this data, export reports in the Insights app or refer to asset insights.
