UI Updates to Download Requests and Access Groups
The Download Requests and Access Groups pages have a new look and great new features! These pages can be accessed by Admin users and can be accessed using the left navigation bar.
Note:
Depending on the setup of your DAM platform and your specific level of user permissions, you may not have access to these pages and/or all of the options outlined below.
Download Requests
The Download Requests page is where admin users can approve or deny requests from users. This page can be accessed from the side navigation bar under Account Settings > Download Requests > Review Requests.
Updates made to the User Download Requests page include:
Approve and Decline Requests via Icon
Assets approvals and declines can be easily made by selecting the thumbs-up icon to approve requests and the thumbs-down icon to decline requests
Bulk Approve and Decline Pending Requests
Assets requests can now be made in bulk! Select the assets to approve or decline by using the checkbox column found to the left of the individual assets. Once the desired checkboxes are selected, Approve and Decline options will appear on the top row. Select the desired action and once complete, the asset(s) will be removed from the pending list.
Reason Request Drawer
You can now easily view a user’s reason for requesting to download an asset. To do this, select the text icon by an asset and a drawer containing the user’s reason will open.
Search Download Requests
Using the Keyword and Status dropdowns at the top of the page, you can now search for a specific asset or filter requests by their status of Authorized, Pending, or Declined.
Customize your View with Table Settings
You can customize your view to fit your workflow by selecting the ‘Columns’ option located in the top row. Once selected, the Table Settings drawer will open where you can customize which columns are visible in your view and in which order they appear.
Save Your View for Easy Access
Similar to other updates pages in our DAM UI, you can save a view or views using the ‘Save As’ option in the upper right corner. Organize the view as you see fit and then save the view so you can quickly access it when you need it.
Access Groups
Access Groups allow users to organize both assets and users into groups within your Simpleview DAM. This feature is used to designate access to files for groups of users. This page can be accessed from the side navigation bar under Review > Access Groups.
Updates made to the Access Group page include:
Create and Access Group
New Access groups can easily be created by selecting the ‘Add Access Group’ button at the top of the screen.
Search Access Groups
Access Groups can easily be found using the ‘Keyword’ or ‘More’ dropdowns found at the top of the screen. The ‘More’ option allows you to filter the list of Access Groups by Is Admin, Is Active, Is Locked, and Is Default.
Bulk Activate and Deactivate Access Groups
Assets Groups can now be managed in bulk! Select which groups you’d like to activate or deactivate using the checkbox option next to the individual Access Group. Once selected, Activate and Deactivate options will appear on the top row. Select the desired action and once complete, the toggle and Yes/No in the Active column will update.
Active/Inactive & Locked/Unlocked Toggle and Column
The Access Groups page now features a toggle which represents whether a group is active or inactive and locked or unlocked. It also displays the status of a group by looking for Yes/No in the Active and Locked columns.
- If the group is active and unlocked, the toggle will be blue slid to the right
- If the group is active and locked, the toggle will be gray and slid to the right
- If the group is inactive and unlocked, the toggle will be blue and slid to the left
- If the group inactive and locked, it will be gray and slid to the left
