Configuration

The app is based on the content app framework so its configuration is typical of any content app.

It's configuration can be found at /modules/dam-external-app/apps/dam-external-app.

The app is based on Content Connector which retrieves the content through AssetProvider. See the documentation for more information on registering new asset providers.

The asset provider can be specified with its provider id at /modules/dam-external-app/apps/dam-external-app/subApps/browser/contentConnector@assetProviderId:

Views

The view icons open different views of the assets stored in the DAM:

• Tree view: Displays a hierarchical tree, including the folder structure. The underlying AssetProvider has to support AssetProviderCapability#hierarchical capability.
  
• List view: Displays the items individually. You can sort them alphanumerically by clicking the column headings, if the AssetProvider supports AssetProviderCapability#queryand AssetProviderCapability#queryWithSorting.
  
• Thumbnail view: Displays thumbnail images of the assets. There is a zoom control at the top for resizing.
  
• Detail: Display details of the asset. The Metadata field displays all registered metadata classes supported by the asset.
