Can I use auto-tagging and description when uploading multiple asset via Uploader widget?

DAM

Introduction

When using the Filerobot Uploader widget ( documentation here ), it is possible to enable the auto-tagging in order to suggest a list of tags that will be added to the asset(s). You can of course modify tags (adding, deleting) before the asset is saved into your DAM library (container), and even add a description along with any user defined metadata.

1/ First, how do you enable auto-tag when uploading to the widget?

Make sure you either have the "Auto-Tagging" enabled in your DAM admin (under Settings > dam > tags > configuration), or that your standalone widget configuration gets the proper option in the "tagging" attribute of the "config" section (all the details here)

2/ Behavior for a single asset, standard case

As soon as the configuration is saved, it is activated, and the Uploader widget will display:

• a Description field, free text that you can fill-in to be added to the asset's metadata

• a Tags field, filled with pre-processed list of tags that you can adjust at will

• any other User Defined metadata, depending on your container parameters (eg: Serial Number)

All those fields are shown in the Uploader widget and will be saved as-is with your asset.

3/ Behavior for multiple asset.

When multiple assets are uploaded or edited together, tags are handled in bulk-edit mode. Each asset keeps its own detected and existing tags, which remain visible and editable per asset.

A shared Tags action field is available to apply tag changes across all selected assets:

• Tags added or removed using the bulk Tags action apply to all selected assets.

• Tags added or removed directly within an individual asset only affect that asset.

When saved, each asset contains its own tags created after upload, and any tags applied through the bulk action.

During upload:
When uploading multiple assets, the Fill multiple assets screen allows bulk editing of common fields such as title, description, product attributes, and custom metadata. The Tags field is not displayed during upload.

After upload:
Once assets are uploaded, bulk edit screen displays all previous fields visible while uploading assets plus Tags. field. Tags can be edited per asset or applied to all selected assets using the bulk Tags action(as shown in screenshot below).
