If celum standard features are not enough ...

celum DAM extensions overview
Fact sheet

As celum implementation partner we constantly develop customizings and specific extensions for our customers and for celum partners. Such features are often useful for other celum customers and partners as well.

The following list is a little snippet of it. If you are interested in one or another functionality or if you need own custom extensions do not hesitate to contact us.

Plugins

Advanced Download Statistics

Advanced Download Statistics

Extended Download Statistics

The celum standard functionality for the statistics on asset-level shows only the number of downloads. Our plugin adds a table displaying who has downloaded the asset when.

>>> Example

As an extension of this plugin we also offer a complete download report as CSV, XLS or XLSX file as an additional admin function.

>>> Example (CSV)

Advanced Download Statistics

The advanced, completely independent variant of the statistics-module. This plugin does not use the built-in statistics, it logs all downloads in its own table, allowing for more information to be captured, such as target format or if the asset was downloaded as part of an object collection. We also took this opportunity to redesign the user interface.

>>> Example

We offer a complete download report as CSV, XLS or XLSX file as an additional admin function for this plugin as well, which also contains the additional information mentioned above.

>>> Example (XLS)

Quality check keyword assignment

Quality check keyword assignment

Well-designed keyword structures are the prerequisite for an efficient search and find. Often some assignments will be declared as mandatory. In order to check if all assets that require certain keywords to be set actually have keywords assigned to them, we extended the administration menu.

>> Example

Every Editor can see if his assets are missing any keywords. Optionally you may define users/groups that can see all assets with unset keywords. The configuration allows you to define which groups of keywords are mandatory and for which folders those rules apply.

 

PDF Creator

PDF Creator

This plugin enables you to produce print ready (multi-page) PDF files from a selection of images (with or without metadata). These images are arranged in a grid as defined by a template. Compared to the celum built-in print functionality, this has the advantage that the layout is fixed; independent of your browser and printer settings. Further the placement of your images to the grid may be specified (e.g. you may force the complete filling of the bounding image box). Additionally you may place a logo and a fix or variable header and/or footer text on each page, for example a copyright statement.

>>> Example

You may create multiple templates from which the user can select.

>>> Example

We are looking forward to creating templates for you – simply send us your specification.

Video integration with vimeo

Video integration with vimeo

Often celum is used for managing videos. But for streaming, a separate server must be in place. We offer an interface to vimeo which can be used to upload videos straight from celum and to stream vimeo videos directly out of celum.

>>> Example

Customers have to setup a Vimeo Plus account with API Upload access. It's possible to add vimeo groups and map celum folders to vimeo groups. For uploads from celum we recommend setting up a vimeo Preset.

We also offer an integration into celum webgate, allowing you to play uploaded videos directly inside webgate.

>>> Example (webgate)

Forced subscription

Forced subscription

On selected user groups, administrators may define folders for which a mandatory subscription is set so that for example daily E-mail notifications are shipped when uploading new assets.

>>> Factsheet (German) 

Parameterization as an administrator in the configuration editor. Task for setting the forced subscriptions when changing the configuration.

Direct Download

Direct Download

If users have only one download format available, the intermediate step with the selection menu is rather annoying. Our plugin ensures the straight download in such cases.

The applicable download formats can be defined in the configuration editor.

Notify Users

Notify Users

Communicate with all the registered users - directly within celum IMAGINE/SWIFT. The users to be notified can be filtered by client, role and group, for example allowing you to only write to all editor-users in the group "Marketing". It's just as easy to inform every active user on your system about a maintenance window.

>> Example

CSV Import/Export

CSV Import/Export

Do you want to import an existing information structure from a CSV file into celum? This plugin can fill information fields and assign keywords automatically. Based on our intelligent matcher, it's even possible to maintain whole keyword structures.

You can also export keywords and information fields out of celum, in order to provide this information to other systems. The output format of the CSV file can be defined on your own with the configuration editor.

Both Plugins are implemented as system tasks, allowing you to schedule them at a regular interval.

Asset Collection Copy

Asset Collection Copy

If structured object collections are heavily used, our plugin helps to easily copy an object collection structure either with or without contents.

Bulk Download

Bulk Download

This extension creates an asset collection and initiates its download using a list of asset names provided by the user.

How the assets will be matched can be customized in a customer specific method, such that, for example, providing only part of a name will still produce a match.

Filtered Subscription

Filtered Subscription

The subscription "Object changed" also includes changes to metadata such as information fields and keywords. This extension can change that!
The subscribed users will only be notified if the asset itself (binary data) has been changed.

Archive System

Archive System

Storing of not (yet) digitized assets (books, audio and video cassettes, historical documents, etc.). These are described in a separate entry screen and filed in celum as archival data sheet (PDF), so that the physical assets are found like digital assets.

>>> Factsheet (German)

Entry screen and PDF generation (with PDFlib) are running on a separate server. Upon request this service may be provided by us as ASP.

ERP system integration

ERP system integration

To incorporate information on product assets provided in an ERP system (such as SAP) into celum, our plugin uses an ERP Webservice to set this information either automatically (when uploading / moving assets) or manually (via context menu on asset or folder level).

>>> Example 

Currently, only information fields (no keywords) are set.
The mapping is done by parametrization in the configuration editor. There is also defined when (automatically / manually), on which folders and by what rule (file naming convention) the setting is performed.


Extended Hyperlink-Mailer

Extended Hyperlink-Mailer

This plugin extends the "send hyperlink" functionality and lets you send the link directly to all users with access right to the selected elements.
In addition to the subscription function our plugin permits an easy way of manually notifying the target group.
You may configure for which elements (assets, folders, object collections) the plugin is enabled.

Bulk-Malipulation of Text Objects

Bulk-Malipulation of Text Objects

When using Text Objects on a daily basis, you might find yourself in a situation where you want to apply the same operation to many Text Objects at once. This extension enables you to apply arbitrary, customer specific manipulations to Text Objects. The manipulation can then be triggered on asset-, folder- and asset collection-levels, without disturbing the subscription-mechanism, so as not to flood your users with change notifications.

Print Text Objects

Print Text Objects

Users of Text Objects often miss a comfortable print function. We have the solution. 

Text Objects may be printed as single object, group of objects or for a whole folder (ordered by name).

Additional feedback form

Additional feedback form

If you want to provide specific user groups with the ability to send suggestions, praise, criticism, etc. directly from celum via e-mail to a predefined recipient, we also have the appropriate plugin.

>>> Example

The applicable user groups and the recipient's address can be definied in the configuration editor.

Customizing

Branding (Standard GUI Customizing)

Branding (Standard GUI Customizing)

We'll replace all product logos by the one of your company. That way, celum visually integrates itself into your environment. This is strongly recommended if your DAM is accessible from the internet.

We'll also replace the image to the left of the login screen with an image of your choice - a picture of you headquarters or a huge company logo - you decide!

>>> Example

Custom color for selected values

Custom color for selected values

By default, the selected items (folders, keywords, object collections) are shown in dark blue. We set your desired color.

>>> Example

Custom registration form

Custom registration form

Want to get rid of unnecessary input fields, make more fields mandatory or replace an input field with a drop-down selector with freely definable values? We'll customize the registration form to your needs!

You may also define certain machanisms, such as using the e-mail address as the username and much more.

>>> Example

Start screen with new assets, search profiles

Start screen with new assets, search profiles

This plugin allows the adaption of the start page to ensure that the most recently uploaded documents (including link to object details) and common search requests (search profiles) are shown.

>>> Example
