Lightboxes

Lightboxes are curated collections of assets that your DAM users create to save and share selected media. This page gives you a company-wide view of every lightbox created across all your DAM sites — useful for monitoring what your team has saved and which collections have been shared with clients.

Key Features

• Lightbox List: See every lightbox at a glance, with the name, creator, item count, type, creation date, and share code displayed in a clean table
• Items Badge: Each row shows a badge with the number of assets saved — a blue badge means the lightbox is populated; a grey "0" means it was created but left empty
• Type: Distinguishes between different lightbox categories as defined in your DAM configuration (e.g. personal collections vs. client presentations)
• Share Code: Shows the unique token for any lightbox that has been shared externally — blank means it has not been shared yet
• Search: Filter the list instantly by lightbox name or the username of the creator
• Sorting: Click any column header (Name, User, Type, Created) to sort the list; click again to reverse the direction
• Pagination: Lightboxes are displayed 15 per page with navigation controls at the bottom

How to Use

1. Open the Lightboxes section from the AirDAM navigation — the list loads automatically, sorted by most recently created first
2. Use the search bar to filter by lightbox name or team member username (e.g. search a colleague's name to find their collections)
3. Click any sortable column header to reorder the list; click again to reverse direction
4. Check the Items badge to quickly spot which lightboxes are actively used and which are empty
5. Check the Share Code column to see which collections have been sent externally to clients
6. Use the pagination controls at the bottom to move through the full list

Tips

• The Items badge is the fastest way to gauge activity — a lightbox showing 0 was created but never used
• The Share Code column only shows a value when a user has explicitly shared that lightbox with an outside recipient — useful for tracking client-facing collections at ACME Creative Agency
• This is a read-only overview for administrators; lightboxes are created and managed by users on your DAM front end
• The list shows lightboxes from all your DAM sites in one place — use the User column to identify which team member owns each one
