To add an asset to the BAM! library, select the folder where you want the asset to be located, then click the blue +Add Asset button.  In the dialog box, you can either drag files into the box or click the Select Files button to browse for the files.  A single file may be uploaded, or you can select multiple files. Once the files are identified, the next dialog prompts for information about them.  Depending on whether you upload single or multiple files, the asset info dialog will allow editing of the filename prior to saving.

For a single file, the dialog looks like this:

The fields available to edit are:

• Filename— this is taken from the source file when it is uploaded.

• Title— A friendly name for the asset.  This is often the same as the filename, but can be anything useful to the end user.

• Description— information about the asset.  This is a free-form text box, so it can be used for any descriptive information.  

• Tags— tags are a way to identify common elements across assets. They are indexed and searchable across BAM!, and provide an easy way to label similar content.

When multiple files are uploaded, the dialog looks like this:

For both single and multiple asset uploads, users have the ability to add variables to the asset titles and descriptions, as detailed within the Edit Asset(s) dialog box.  In the example above you can see that the value within the Title field includes the variable '%I' which dictates that each image uploaded as part of that batch has the same title followed by a unique number.  Any values entered into the Description and Tags fields are also applied to all of the assets within that batch.  Saving the Edit Assets dialog will result in the assets being uploaded and displayed within the DAM library, in the folder you launched the add asset process from:
