The Asset URL Generator Feature

System Administrators can generate public-facing URLs for assets stored in the Media Library.

CampaignDrive allows System Administrators and other users with the permission Can generate asset URLs to create a public-facing URL for all assets that have been uploaded into CampaignDrive's Digital Asset Management system, the Media Library.

Creating an Asset URL

  1. Copy the asset ID that requires an external-facing link from the Media Library.Screenshot 2023-03-15 at 9.43.28 PM

  4. A public-facing URL for the asset has now been generated! Note that this URL is not stored with the asset information, so a  copy of the URL should be stored somewhere offline for reference.

Use Case: Allowing End Users to Click a Site Part and Be Directed to a PDF

If System Administrators want to serve up a PDF directly to an End User after clicking on a site part, then he/she can use the Asset URL Generator to create a link that goes into the Link-URL field in the Image Properties dialogue box for a site part.
