Media Management (SAP Commerce Cloud)

The Media Management add-on scores with its user-friendly operation: In contrast to the standard, the add-on enables hierarchical media management. Webshop administrators can create their own folder structure and organize media files in it. They can freely choose the file name and use descriptive names to increase user-friendliness and findability. Administrators navigate through the folders using the tree structure . When they select a folder, they get an overview of all the media stored there, can call up details, zoom into the image and store additional information about the medium.

The add-on uses a more flexible data model than the standard. This means that media can be enriched with a lot of additional information: For example, webshop administrators can prepare media in a country-specific way by localizing meta data and thus optimize images for search engines. The add-on also extracts the EXIF data of media out of the box and uses this for more flexible classification.

For large online stores with many products, the number of media assets can quickly run into the thousands. Searching for the right files thus quickly becomes a pain and eats up valuable time. The powerful search functions of our add-on therefore allow quick access to the media files.

For this purpose, the add-on uses its own SOLR index. Thanks to this, the media can be searched according to all stored attributes such as individually assigned tags, resolutions and much more, and the search results can be filtered.

The full-text search also searches all contents of PDF, Word, PPT and Excel files and not only the terms contained in the title.

Especially images are often needed in different resolutions and formats . Header images, thumbnails, images for responsive views - often webshop administrators need 5 or 6 image variants of a motif. They have to create them, upload them, search for them in the database and link them to the product. With many products or very dynamic portfolios, this costs a lot of valuable time. Time that you can save with our Media Management add-on.

Your administrators load only one image per motif into Media Management and link this to the product. All other variations can be easily converted in Media Management from this original image. As soon as the original is uploaded, a service starts that automatically generates all other formats. These variants are also automatically linked to the original and the assigned product.

Webshop administrators access Media Management via BackOffice as well as via SmartEdit. In BackOffice, a separate view for Media Management is stored in the menu. Here, administrators get an overview of all media assests and can navigate to and access the desired media either via the tree view or via the search. A second BackOffice view can be found in the Product Cockpit: Via a separate Media Management tab, webshop administrators can assign media to products and edit them.

In SmartEdit, webshop administrators access Media Management directly from the CMS via a Custom Field Editor . This allows them to add media to CMS components or modify the media. Changes are immediately applied in the storefront.
