Picturepark "Rigi" featuring Dashboard, Focal Point Editing, Conversion Presets, and Transfer Ownership. See further details below.

Dashboard page

The new Dashboard guides users after login to relevant resources and provides additional information, such as usage instructions.

The new dashboard page can be customized to show all relevant information to your users. It helps users navigate through content in Picturepark via visually enticing direct links to channels, content items, search results, or a prominent search bar, and you can provide any other text elements.

You can modify the dashboard in Settings > Templates to your needs. Customization can be made directly in HTML and CSS (limited use of code), and you can add predefined widgets like Search Box (1), Banner (2), Welcome text (3), and Cards with embedded items as preview images (4). Each card can link to search results, channels, or any external URL.

Users who wished to skip the dashboard can bookmark the Content Browser with the following URL: [customername].picturepark.com/contents

Possible content you can present here includes:

• Approved digital assets for campaigns or general use
• Branding material, such as your logos, in all variations
• Latest product content, such as images or datasheets
• The latest sales toolkit, such as battle cards or presentations
• Usage instructions and quick guides for Picturepark

Focal point editor

Editors can edit and manage focal points provided by AI or create their own focal points manually.

The new focal point editor for images enables users to create, update, or remove focal points created by an AI provider such as Clarifai or Azure. Permitted users can create single focal points or bounding boxes surrounding objects, such as faces.

Focal points can be defined by entering directly into data fields or using pointing devices such as a mouse. For each focal point, a confidence interval, a name and a reference can be provided. All information will be saved into the Image Analytics Layer of the image.

Conversion presets

Editors can convert their conversion settings in the media editor into templates for easy access and reuse by permitted users.

Editors can now save their settings defined in the Media Editor as presets for later reuse for the same image if used regularly. Other users can apply the conversion presets when using the image for different purposes or channels, such as publishing it on your website, commerce stores, or creating social media posts.

Each image can have its own specific conversion presets. Additionally, editors can convert image-specific presets into conversion preset templates that can be applied to any image. These conversion preset templates are defined in the settings and available to permitted users.

Common conversion preset templates are used for: 

• Website hero or header images
• Product shots used in commerce stores
• Detailed extracts from large-scale images
• Different social media channels
• Placeholders in sales presentations
   

Transfer ownership

Picturepark can now transfer ownership automatically, for example, when content is uploaded or approved.

Picturepark Automation can transfer ownership of Content Items when certain conditions are met. Editors can now set up production workflows with multiple steps and various responsible persons, using Picturepark automation to change ownership when content has been uploaded by certain users or when content has been approved and is ready to be published and assigned to new responsible persons.

Among others, the following workflows are possible:

• When an agency uploads content, Picturepark assigns the "To be approved by admin" permission and changes the owner to the responsible admin, who is then notified as the new content owner.
• When your agency XY uploads content items, Picturepark automatically assigns the correct values for Responsible and Copyright and assigns the content authority as the owner to validate the agency content.
• When editors upload new product content, Picturepark transfers ownership to the product management editor to validate the content before publishing. Additionally, this user is notified that new content is ready for editing.
• Send notifications to owners of specific content updates so Picturepark can (in combination with other conditions) automate the complete lifecycle of content (draft, approve, reject, etc.).
   

Further notable changes

• New features for the relationship field now enable users to switch between thumb and list view of content in such fields, and browse through all the content in the Content detail view. Editors can also sort one or multiple content items directly within the field. Note that this feature is not available for list items.

• Business Rule notifications support audit variables so notifications can be configured to always show the email address of the modifying user or the user name who created (uploaded) content.
• The template manager in the settings area used to create and update share templates, the new dashboard, and more have undergone technology and UX improvements such as providing better navigation through templates.
