Assets Insights asset-insights
Assets Insights functionality lets you track user ratings and usage statistics of images that are used in third-party websites, marketing campaigns, and Adobe’s creative solutions. It helps provide insights about performance and popularity of the images.
Assets Insights captures user activity details, such as the number of times an image is rated, clicked, and impressions (number of times an image is loaded on the website). It assigns scores to images based on these statistics. You can use the scores and performance statistics to select popular images for inclusion in catalogs, marketing campaigns, and so on. You can even formulate archival and license renewal policies based on these statistics.
For Assets Insights to capture usage statistics for images from a website, you must include the embed code for the image in the website code.
To let Assets Insights display usage statistics for assets, first configure the feature to fetch reporting data from Adobe Analytics. For details, see Configure Assets Insights. To use this feature, buy Adobe Analytics license separately.
