AirDAM

AirDAM connects your Air4 account to your DAM site — letting you customize your public portal's appearance and browse all site content including stories, assets, accounts, workflows, and delivery logs.

Key Features

  • Portal Design Editor: Customize how your public DAM portal looks — choose a theme preset, set colors, upload your logo and watermark, and pick a font. Changes are live-previewed before saving.
  • Theme Presets: One-click presets (Dark Pro is the default) give you a polished starting point — adjust any color from there.
  • Branding: Set a portal name, upload a logo (PNG/SVG), and add a watermark that appears on downloaded assets.
  • Site Selector: Switch between DAM sites from the topbar — all content and design settings update instantly.
  • Stories: Browse photo and video stories with thumbnails, dates, catalogs, credits, tags, and exclusive flags.
  • Assets: View individual media files with full metadata — headline, keywords, location, file size, and cloud vs. local storage status.
  • Accounts: See all registered users with access levels; approve pending accounts with one click.
  • Collections & Catalogs: Browse content collections and photo/video catalogs.
  • Groups: View user groups assigned to the DAM site.
  • Workflow: Monitor FTP in/out queues, distribution lists, processing rules, web uploads, and the delivery queue.
  • Downloads: Review download history across the site.
  • Safeboxes: Check secure download packages and their Active/Expired status.
  • Lightboxes: Browse user-created lightbox collections.
  • Newsletter: View newsletter content items.
  • Stats: Monitor delivery destinations — see pending file counts, status, and errors; activate stalled tasks or clear error queues.
  • Logs: Review distribution history by destination with date range filtering.

How to Use

  1. Select a DAM site from the site selector in the top navigation bar
  2. The Portal Design editor opens — choose a preset, adjust branding and colors, then click Save
  3. To browse site content, use the AirDAM section links in the sidebar (Stories, Assets, Accounts, etc.)
  4. Click any row to open a detail panel with full information
  5. In Accounts, click Approve on a pending account to grant Web Download access
  6. In Workflow, use sub-tabs to monitor FTP jobs, processing rules, and the delivery queue
  7. In Stats, click a destination row to see its queued files; use Activate or Delete to manage stuck tasks
  8. In Logs, set a date range and browse delivery history; click a destination to see individual log entries

Tips

  • Upload your logo as a PNG or SVG with a transparent background for best results on any theme
  • The watermark is applied automatically to assets when clients download them — use a semi-transparent PNG
  • The Exclusive badge on stories flags premium content — use it to quickly spot restricted material
  • The S3 badge on assets means the file is in cloud storage; Local means it is on the server
  • Access levels range from Guest and Pending up to Full Download and Admin — review these before approving new users
  • A red error badge on a Stats destination means delivery has failed — use Activate to retry
  • If no site is selected, a prompt appears — pick a site from the topbar to activate the module
