Publish presets, schema, and facets to Brand Portal
The article delves into publishing image presets, metadata schemas, and custom search facets from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal. Publishing capability enables organizations to reuse the image presets, metadata schemas, and search facets created/modified at AEM Author instance thereby reducing duplicate efforts.
Publish image presets to Brand Portal
Image presets are a set of sizing and formatting commands that are applied to the image at the time of image delivery. Image presets can be created and modified at Brand Portal. Alternatively, if AEM Author instance is running in dynamic media mode then users can create presets at the AEM Author and publish them to AEM Assets Brand Portal, and avoid re-creating the same presets at Brand Portal.
Once the preset is created, it is listed as dynamic rendition on asset detail renditions rail and download dialogue.
To publish image presets to Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/ click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Image Presets.
- Select the image preset or multiple image presets from the list of image presets and click/ tap Publish to Brand Portal.
To unpublish an image preset from Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Image Presets.
- Select an image preset, and select Remove from Brand Portal from the options available at the top.
Publish metadata schema to Brand Portal
Metadata schema describes the layout and properties that are displayed on the properties page of asset/ collections.
If users have edited the default schema on AEM Author instance and are willing to use the same schema as default schema on the Brand Portal, they can simply publish the metadata schema forms to Brand Portal. In such a scenario, the default schema at Brand Portal is over-ridden by the default schemas published from AEM Author instance.
If users have created a custom schema on AEM Author instance, they can publish the custom schema to Brand Portal instead of re-creating the same custom schema there. Users can then apply this custom schema to any folder/ collection in Brand Portal.
To publish a metadata schema from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Metadata Schemas.
- Select a metadata schema, and select Publish to Brand Portal from the options available at the top.
To unpublish a metadata schema from Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/click the Tools icon and navigate to Assets > Metadata Schemas.
- Select a metadata schema, and select Remove from Brand Portal from the options available at the top.
Publish search facets to Brand Portal
Search forms provide the capability of faceted search to users on Brand Portal. Search facets impart greater granularity to searches on Brand Portal. All the predicates added in the search form are available to users as search facets in search filters.
If you are willing to use custom search form Assets Admin Search Rail from AEM Author instance, then instead of re-creating the same form on Brand Portal you can publish the customized search form from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal.
To publish the edited search facet from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal:
-
Tap/click the AEM logo, and then go to Tools > General > Search Forms.
-
Select the edited search form, and select Publish to Brand Portal.
note note NOTE When users click Publish to Brand Portal, the search facets are queued for publishing. Users are advised to monitor the log of the replication agents to confirm if the publish was successful.
To unpublish search forms from Brand Portal:
- In AEM Author instance, tap/ click the AEM logo to access the global navigation console and tap/click the Tools icon and navigate to General > Search Forms.
- Select the search form, and select Remove from Brand Portal from the options available at the top.
Limitations
-
Few search predicates are not applicable to search filters on the Brand Portal. When these search predicates are published as part of the search form from AEM Author instance to Brand Portal, they are filtered out. Users, therefore, see less number of predicates in the published form at the Brand Portal. See search predicates applicable to filters on Brand Portal.
-
For Options Predicate, if a user is using any custom path to read options at AEM Author instance, it won’t work at the Brand Portal. These additional paths and options are not published to Brand Portal with the search form. In this case, users can select the Manual option in Add Options within Options Predicate to add these options manually at Brand Portal.
