By using markers, which display a small icon in the top of assets in an archive, users are able to quickly determine whether or not an asset can be used. Markers are set by the system administrator and can be configured to appear on all assets that have a certain value in a specific metadata field - e.g. the expiry date of a license or where the asset has been licensed for use.

Metadata is a central feature of any Digital Asset Management system. It enables you to easily find and re-use the content you spend time creating, increasing the life-cycle of that content and maximizing its value. Metadata also helps you to automate mundane tasks, allowing you to spend more time doing what you do best. What this means is that ensuring that users add metadata is crucial.
With our own internal FotoWare system, we have taken steps to ensure that no file is uploaded without the important metadata it needs - but, in case that does happen, for whatever reason, markers can be automatically applied as a reminder for users to add more metadata.

In FotoWare, each group of users that participates in image approvals are assigned to different hierarchical classes. As images are offered for approval, it steps through each one of these classes sequentially. The approval process is clear and fast with a formulated workflow. It also provides a clear documentation trail.
Previously, image approvals at San Francisco Ballet were done manually so it took unnecessary time to walk around to find the right people to get approval, and it was hard to make an accurate decision with printouts.

On our own FotoWare site, we decided to allow users to upload content by only providing a minimum of metadata: a title, description, and at least one tag. We notify users that they need to fill in some additional metadata on the assets they’ve uploaded using a FotoWare action that combines a metadata update with a webhook.

You can be GDPR compliant with all your assets within FotoWare by managing forms and metadata. For example, one can easily retrieve the assets associated with the consent in question and purge the content or manage access to it. Asset markers in the FotoWare system can be used in combination with the above to visually indicate the level of consent given.

Access level can be set at archive level, collections or individual files. By selecting a file and opening the action menu the user can set access to the pre-customized level. This can be easily managed by defining groups of users.
For example, the National Institute of Dramatic Art has employee level, students level, and public. The administrator can select the files of choice and assign the desired permission. No duplicates of the files are created and the custom markers on the preview grid give users a clear & visual indication of who has the rights to access the collection at hand.
