The Universal Compact View is a component that lets you select assets to add to your content. It provides a simplified version of the asset overview screen and uses Bynder's API to offer search, filter, and sort functions. With this view, you can add images, videos, documents, and audio assets, along with their original files, derivatives, metadata, and tags, to an external content system.
Before you Begin
-
Your portal needs to be set up with a custom CDN.
-
All assets that you want to use in the Compact View need to be marked as public.
Note
Depending on your user rights and the configuration of your portal the Universal Compact View on your side may differ from the Universal Compact View shown in the examples and screenshots of this article.
