AirDAM

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

Key Features

  • Portal Design Editor: Opens by default — customize your DAM portal's look with theme presets, colors, branding, layout controls, and custom CSS. Changes are live-previewed before saving.
  • Theme Presets: One-click presets (Dark Pro is the default) give you a polished starting point. The Match Site preset automatically inherits your main site's color palette for a unified look.
  • Branding: Set a portal name, choose a font family, upload a logo (PNG/SVG/WebP), and add a watermark applied to client downloads.
  • Color Controls: Fine-tune 11 individual colors — primary, accent, background, surface, card, text, and status colors — all with live preview.
  • Layout Controls: Adjust card corner radius, grid spacing, and border opacity using sliders.
  • Custom CSS: Add your own CSS rules for advanced styling beyond the built-in controls.
  • Device Preview: Toggle between desktop, tablet, and mobile views to verify your portal before publishing.
  • Site Selector: Switch between DAM sites from the topbar — all content and design settings update instantly.
  • Dashboard: After selecting a site, a card grid summarizes all sections (Stories, Assets, Accounts, etc.) with live record counts.
  • Stats Bar: Quick-glance totals for Stories, Assets, S3 uploads, Accounts, and Downloads.
  • Stories: Browse photo and video stories with thumbnails, dates, catalogs, credits, tags, and exclusive flags.
  • Assets: View 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 & Groups: Browse asset collections, photo/video catalogs, and user permission groups.
  • Workflow: Monitor FTP in/out queues, distribution lists, processing rules, web uploads, and the delivery queue.
  • Downloads, Safeboxes & Lightboxes: Review download history, secure delivery packages, and user lightbox collections.
  • Newsletter: View newsletter content items and distribution lists.
  • Stats: Monitor delivery destinations — see pending file counts and errors; activate stalled tasks or clear error queues.
  • Logs: Review distribution history by destination with date range filtering.
  • CSV Export: Export any list with current filters applied for use in spreadsheets.

Tips

  • Upload your logo as a PNG or SVG with a transparent background for best results on any theme
  • Use the Match Site preset to pull your main site's color palette into the DAM portal automatically
  • The watermark is applied to assets when clients download them — use a semi-transparent PNG for best results
  • Use the device toggle (desktop, tablet, mobile) to verify your portal looks right on all screen sizes before saving
  • 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 No Download, Web Download, 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
