The configurable download manager organises the data as a CSV, XML, or JSON file, allowing third-party applications to process the same.

Further, the sharing options have many settings that can be configured which include expiration date, relevant media asset file types, resolutions, and watermarking.

Further, certain terms and conditions must be agreed upon before the material is accessed. The sharing dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of all active shares so you don’t lose track.

The Product Experience Portal is built around security and access control, permissions, roles, and internal/external users.

Define data-pool or user-level access to product information and media assets. All prominent SSO providers are compatible with user authentication.
