AUDIO allow allows for standalone audio files to be added to a collection. End users can view and download the audio files much the same way that they would a video.

To create audio content, navigate to the Audio section under Content Publishing in the left-hand lefthand navigation menu, then click on the “Create Audio” button at the top right. In the resulting popup menu, name your audio content and designate an author. This will bring you to the creation page where you can upload, tag, link, and publish your audio content.

Details

To select an audio file or upload a new audio file for publishing, click the blue “Select asset” button on the right-hand side of the interface. The resulting popup menu allows you to select an existing media asset or upload a new media asset.

To select an existing media asset, either scroll through the available media or use the search bar at the top right to find the desired media asset, click on the media asset (this will display a preview, the label, and some metadata), and click the “Use selected media” button at the bottom right.

To upload a new media asset, click the “Upload a new audio” tab at the top right of the popup menu. First, label the audio file (this will be the name of the audio in your media assets database). Then, select the desired file from your computer. Once the file has successfully loaded, click the “Create new audio asset” button at the bottom right.

Including an icon for your audio file is recommended. To do so, click the “[camera icon] Update” button. The resulting pop-up will allow you to select a file from your computer, crop it accordingly, and preview the image. Click “Save Icon” to return to the builder where you will see the icon where the grey camera icon was before.

Categories are ways to tag similar content for easy retrieval using the filtering option. The categories tab allows content creators to create and manage categories, which are attached to category groups. When content is tagged with a category in a category group, that content will display when a user filters content by that category. We recommend that you add at least one tag to the audio content before publishing.

Before the audio content can be published, you must first link the content to at least one collection. To do so, click the blue “Link” button, which will display all available collections. Click the linking icon on the right side of any collection to link the audio file to that collection. The collections you have selected will now populate in the builder. To unlink the file, simply click the red icon under the Unlink column.

Once you have selected an audio file and linked it to a collection, the “Publish” button will become available. (See note above concerning possible wait times for publication processing.)

You can only delete a file before it is published. To do so, click the hamburger icon (three dots) at the top right of the “Publish” button. A pop-up will open requiring you to manually type DELETE into the text-box window before allowing you to permanently delete the fileThe Details section is contained in the top bar under the content’s title. Here, you can upload your icon as well as change the content’s title, author, and description.

To upload an icon, click the “Update” button in the Details bar, then click “Choose File.” In the resulting popup window, find and select the desired image from your computer’s file library. As always, you can use the Cropping tool to change the size and orientation of your icon. Once you’re satisfied with the icon result, click Save Icon.

To edit the content’s title, author, and description, click on the three dots at the top right of the Details bar and select “Edit Details.”

Tags

To add tags to your content, click into the field in the Category Tags section. This will display a dropdown listing all available categories to tag your content with. To add a tag, click on the radio button to the left of the tag in the dropdown menu. To remove a tag, click the “X” to the left of the tag’s name in that same field.

Builder

The Builder section or “Media Asset” section allows you to upload or select an audio file for your content. To add an audio file, click the “Select asset” button.

The resulting popup begins on the “Select an existing audio” tab and displays all available audio files associated with this collection for selection (click the radio button to the right of the search bar to include media assets shared from other collections). To select an audio file for use, either navigate through the pages of media assets or use the search bar at the top to locate the media item, then click on the desired media. This will display a preview of the media item selected. If that is the correct file, click “Use selected media”; if it’s not correct, you can either click “Cancel” or “Select a different asset… .” Clicking “Select a different asset…” will return you to the media listing.

If the media asset does not exist in your branch, you can upload a new audio file for use. To do so, click the “Upload a new audio” tab, then click the “Select File” button. In the resulting popup window, select the desired media to upload. Give the media an asset title (internal title used in the media asset library; an option to “Automagically set file name as asset title” appears in blue to simplify the process), then click “Create new audio asset” to attach the newly uploaded audio file to your content.

Collections

The file must be linked to at least one collection before it can be published. Clicking the “Link” button in the Linked Collections section will open a popup window displaying the available collections with icons, team ID, and a blue button to link your file to that collection. Any collections chosen will populate under Linked Collections, and they can be unlinked by simply clicking the red icon to the right.

Publish

The Publish button is actually located at the top in the Details bar. The Publish button remains grayed out until all requirements to publish have been met. Once all requirements have been met, the Publish button will turn green and allow you to publish your content.
