Creating and managing directory nodes and assets

The Assets page displays the digital asset hierarchy and options for managing digital assets and directory nodes. This page allows you to navigate to a particular directory node or asset. It also has options to manually add digital assets and folders to the digital hierarchy, view digital assets and asset details, modify assets and directory nodes, move and copy assets and directory nodes, and remove assets and directory nodes from the hierarchy.

When you place a large number of assets in a single directory, it takes longer for the program to display the contents of the folder in the folder list. For example, a folder that contains 10,000 assets may take around 15 seconds to display a list of 10 of the assets in the directory. If you have a directory with a large number of assets, you can improve the speed by moving the assets into sub-directories of the directory.
