A new setting, Enable Asset Sharing Notification, has been introduced in the Asset Configuration page to notify users when assets are shared with them. Once this setting is enabled, the filters added to the asset folder will display all assets that are associated with them, users will receive an email notification when those assets are shared. Also, we need to ensure that the "Send Email Notification" checkbox is also checked while sharing the assets.
As shown in the screenshot above, the assets associated with the filter "general assets" will trigger an email notification if the Enable Asset Sharing Notification option is enabled and the "send email notification" checkbox is selected when sharing the assets.
Notification and Sharing Process:
Email Notification on Sharing: Once the Enable Asset Sharing Notification is enabled, every time assets are shared with users, they will receive an email notification regarding the shared assets.
Checkbox for Send Email Notification: Ensure the checkbox for "Send Email Notification" is selected while sharing the assets.
If Enable Asset Sharing Notification is unchecked, the users will still receive an email notification if the "send email notification" checkbox is selected when sharing assets. However, in this case, the notification will be for all shared assets, not specifically those assets associated with the filters in the asset folder.
Overview
A new enhancement has been implemented in the View Assets V5 module, allowing companies to control the display of filters on the left panel based on configuration settings. This update provides greater flexibility and streamlines the asset navigation experience for users.
Configuration Behavior
This feature is governed by a backend configuration that determines whether filters should be displayed on the left-hand side panel.
If Enabled:
Filters such as Asset Type, Tags, Categories, Language, etc., will be visible in the left panel, providing users with advanced filtering options to narrow down search results quickly.
If Disabled:
The left filter panel will be hidden entirely. Users will instead interact with the standard top navigation layout without additional filters.
Companies that require simplified asset browsing can choose to hide filters entirely.
Organizations with a large volume of content may enable filters to improve discoverability and user efficiency.
Admins can align the filtering experience with branding or interface preferences across portals.
This feature is not user-configurable through the UI. To enable or disable the left panel filters, the system administrator must apply the appropriate configuration flag at the backend.
Conclusion
This enhancement offers organizations flexibility in how assets are presented to end-users, improving the user experience based on individual portal needs. Whether for cleaner UI or better content filtering, this feature adds meaningful control to asset management.
