How to Add Brand Asset Categories in Box
To add Brand Asset Categories in Box, follow these steps:
Create a Folder for the Brand Asset Category:
- Create a new folder at the root level (“All Files”).
⚠️ Important: The folder must be created in the root level. If the folder is placed inside another folder, the tagging will not work and the folder will not be returned in the Brand Panel. -
Tag the folder with the following tags:
-
Required:
CIH_BCT_<CATEGORY TYPE>— Tags the folder as a brand category of the specified type.
Available category types are:-
images -
colors
-
-
-
-
Optional:
CIH_BCN_<CATEGORY NAME>— If present, this tag defines the category name; otherwise, the folder name is used as the category name.
-
-
Place all the assets you want to use for this category inside the folder.
The folder name (or the value from theCIH_BCN_tag) will become the asset category, and the assets within it will belong to that category.
