What will I see on the dashboard?

The first thing you'll see when you log into the Acquia DAM (Widen) is the dashboard. The dashboard is the site's home page and a launchpad for discovering all the great content available to you. DAM admins can post welcome messages, brand guidelines, and other information to highlight your brand, and you can search for and review asset activity and quickly upload assets.

 

 

Roles and permissions are respected in the DAM, so you won't see zones assets you don't have permission to view on the dashboard.

Depending on your roles and permissions, you may see:

• Dashboard messages
• Spotlight searches
• Spotlight (global) collections
• An Upload button
• An activity feed
• More search options
• Categories menu
• Collections menu
• Alerts and watched asset notifications
• Your user profile

 

Activity menu

More details about assets and their activities can be accessed from the Activity menu. Access these pages to learn more about:

• Collections
• Comments
• Downloads
• Imports
• Exports
• Search results
• Shares
• Uploads

 

 

Return to the dashboard from anywhere in the site by clicking the site logo or by using the Activity menu. You can also use the menu to quickly access other pages in the site.
