Assets 6.68.1
Assets version: 6.68.1.337
Assets Agent 1.0.26.47
Release date: 13 July 2021
New features
No features have been added in this release of Assets.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets:
- Metadata: auto-complete speed reduced. When entering a value in a metadata field which has an auto-complete behavior, the results now appear with a slight delay or only when the user stops typing. This reduces the number of search requests that are sent to the server and thereby improves the performance of the system.
- Searching: changes in the behavior of the Found Folders list. When a search term is entered in the Search box, a list of folders that match the search terms are shown. The conditions of when folders are shown in that Found Folders list has been changed to reduce the impact on the system. This has been done in the following ways:
- The list of found folders can now be prevented from appearing by setting the following property to false in the Management Console > Server configuration > Cluster properties:
folderSuggestionsEnabled=false
- The behavior of the list of found folders has been changed to reduce the number of results:
- For the first 3 terms entered, the folders appear in the list when the terms are present in the folder name in any order.
- For 4 or more terms entered, the folders only appear in the list when the order of the terms is the same as the order in the folder name.
|
Example: Consider a folder with the name one two three four five. The following table shows the results when searching for that folder by using specific search terms:
|
Fixed issues
The following issues have been fixed in this release of Assets:
LVS-15663 Full screen preview: layouts are not scaled to match smaller screen or web browser sizes.

- Copying components from archived Digital articles does not work with specific Web browsers. Copying an article component from an archived Digital article using Studio only works when using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, it does not work with Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge.
- Previewing PDFs does not work in Google Chrome version 88. Assets runs its previews in a sandbox to prevent malicious code from being run in the Web browser. With Chrome 88, Google no longer allows PDFs to be shown in a sandbox environment and blocks the request to the server.
One way to make the PDF preview work again is to disable Assets’ sandbox mechanism. We do not recommend this though as it poses a security risk. Another way is to use a different Web browser. The preferred way is to install a Chrome extension that allows to safely preview a PDF.

Assets 6.62.1
Assets version: 6.62.1.315
Assets Agent 1.0.23.43
Release date: 9 March 2021
New features
The following has been added in this release of Assets:
- Assets: Displaying often-used metadata fields as 'Essentials' at the top of the Metadata panel. Assets Server comes with over 400 metadata fields which can be extended even further by creating custom metadata fields. Although metadata fields are organized in groups and are displayed as such in the Metadata panel of Assets, it can be quite time consuming for users to find the field they want to edit.
Users typically make use of only a small number of specific fields during their daily work. To make these often used fields more easily available to users, metadata fields can now be made part of the 'Essentials' group. By default this group is empty and thereby hidden, but when one or more fields are made part of this group it is displayed at the top of the Metadata panel for easy access.
Metadata fields can be added to the Essentials group by making them part of the field group named Essentials. This is done in the same way as adding fields to any other group by configuring the custom-assetinfo.xml file. For more information, see Changing the look and feel of Assets.
- Brand portal: Changing the default expiration time for Shared Links. Files that are stored in Assets can be shared with others for a variety of purposes by creating a Shared Link. Unless the user sets a custom expiration date, this link expires after 3 months.
This default expiration time can now be changed through the following option in the cluster properties of Assets Server:
authKeyExpireMonthsBrandPortal
For more information, see Configuring the default expiration date for Shared Links created in the Assets Brand portal.
Changes
The following change has been made in this release of Assets:
- Single sign-on: The language configured in the SSO setup is now used as the default language. When a user has a supported language configured in the SSO setup, this language is now used as the default language in Assets or the Brand portal.
This only applies when the user has not explicitly chosen a language during sign-in (or has cleaned the local storage in which this selection is stored).
This change enhances the user experience by configuring the applications in the preferred language before using English as the default language when no set language is found.
Fixed issues
The following issues have been fixed in this release of Assets:
LVS-15558 Make it easier to place essential fields at the top of the Metadata panel.
SPA-2280 Brand portal: Make the expiration time for Shared Links configurable.

Assets 6.57.1
Assets version: 6.57.1.304
Assets Agent 1.0.22.42
Release date: 24 November 2020
New features
No features have been added in this release of Assets.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets:
- Opening files for editing: Files that are opened for editing are automatically opened in their native application. To prevent long waiting times, a limit exists for the number of files that are automatically opened. When that limit is reached, no files are opened and instead these files need to be opened manually. This limit has been increased from 9 files to 30 files.
- Modifying or translating the metadata tooltips. When users of Assets add metadata fields to the Metadata panel, text shown in a tooltip provides detailed information about the field.
Figure: Detailed information about a metadata field can be viewed in a tooltip.
The text of these tooltips can now be modified or translated. This is done by adding the changes to the language file through the Server > Configuration page in the Management Console. For this purpose, the following messages are available, one for each part of the tooltip:
- webClient.metadata.configurationDialog.exampleValue. Holds the text 'Example value:'. This text is used for all tooltips and therefore only needs to be changed or translated once.
- field_label.[field name]. Holds the display name of the field.
- field_description.[field name]. Holds the text of the description.
- field_examples.[field name]. Holds the examples.
For more detailed information about updating the text of these tooltips, see Managing languages in Assets Server.
Fixed issues
The following issues have been fixed in this release of Assets:
LVS-15124 Assets Agent: When checking out more than 9 files, the files are not automatically opened.

Assets 6.56.1
Assets version: 6.56.1.300
Release date: 3 November 2020
New features
No features have been added in this release of Assets.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets.
- Documentation URLs. Users of Assets can access documentation and provide feedback via various links such as the 'Help' and 'Send us feedback' options in the Avatar menu. The configuration of these URLs has changed and no longer starts with 'elvis'.
Example: feedbackUrl= instead of elvisFeedbackUrl=.
Note: Starting a URL with 'elvis' still works, but is deprecated. We advice to change over to the new configuration. (When manually removing 'elvis' from an existing URL, also make sure to change the first character of the remaining name to lower case.)
For more information about configuring these URLs, see Changing the look and feel of Assets.
- Documentation: The default link to the documentation has been updated to point towards the articles aimed at end users. This way, end users can quickly access the documentation about using Assets, while articles aimed at system administrators or developers stay out of view.
This URL is configured in the following option in the cluster-config.properties.txt file:
generalDocumentationUrl=https://helpcenter.woodwing.com/hc/en-us/sections/360010688432
For information about configuring this link, see Changing the look and feel of Assets.
- HTML previews in Google Chrome. The previews of certain file types are generated in HTML format and loaded into the client within an iFrame. Because of increased security requirements in Google Chrome, such previews can appear distorted when viewing them in this browser. This distortion is caused by the background that cannot be loaded in because the authentication cookie does not have the required flags set ('Secure' and 'SameSite=None'). To resolve this, the flags can be enabled on the authentication cookie by setting the following option in the cluster-conf.properties.txt file:
session.cookie.secure=enabled
Note: Setting this option makes it impossible to connect to a web client over an HTTP connection that is not secure.
Fixed issues
The following issues have been fixed in this release of Assets:
LVS-15171 Files in .ppt and .pptx format are not showing correctly when previewing them in Google Chrome.
LVS-15239 Search results pane resets after changing metadata.
LVS-15279 When closing the Preview window, the selected file has scrolled to a different position in the Search results pane.
LVS-15331 Unable to add values to a multi-value list by pressing Tab or clicking outside the field.
LVS-15353 Update the default links to the documentation on Help Center.

Release date: 15 October 2020
New features
The following features has been added in this release of Assets:
- File formats. Support for the Canon CR3 file format has been added. For more information, see Supported file types in Assets Server.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Assets.
- Metadata: Searching for taxonomy values. Taxonomies typically consist of many values. To make finding a value easier, the following improvements have been made when searching using the filter in the Metadata panel:
- Exact word search. Entering 'sport' (in single quotation marks) will find values with the exact name sport (case insensitive; SPORT is also found). Entering eco (no quotation marks) will find economy as well as reconstruction.
- Wildcard search. Use the wildcard * (asterisk) at the beginning and / or end of the search term:
- eco* will find all values with names beginning with eco (economy but not reconstruction).
- *eco* will find all values with names containing eco, but not starting or ending with eco (reconstruction but not economy).
- *eco will find all values with names ending with eco (zydeco but not economy).
For more information, see Working with metadata in Assets.
- Integration with Studio Server. Connecting to an instance of Studio Server through the Dossiers panel has been made more user friendly:
- When only 1 instance of Studio Server is configured, it is not necessary anymore to select it from a list. When logging in, the configured server is automatically used to log in to.
- The last instance of Studio Server that was logged in to is now remembered; it is not necessary anymore to log in for each session.
