This article walks through how to add Brand Asset Categories in SharePoint, so images and colors appear in the CI HUB Brand Connector's Brand Panel.
To add Brand Asset Categories in Sharepoint, follow these steps:
Create a Folder for the Brand Asset Category:
-
Create a new folder.
-
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.
Create a Folder for Brand Colors Categories:
-
Create a new folder.
-
Tag the folder with the following tags:
-
Required:
CIH_BCT_colors— Tags the folder as a brand category of type “colors”. -
Optional:
CIH_BCN_<CATEGORY NAME>— If present, it’s used as the color category name; otherwise, the folder name is used.
-
-
Inside this folder, add files with the extension
.cihubcolor.
These files should contain objects following this structure:{
"id": "897428381201",
"name": "Sky Blue",
"colorDescription": "lorem ipsum",
"hexValue": "#87CEEB",
"rgbValue": {
"red": 135,
"green": 206,
"blue": 235
},
"pantone": "279 C",
"cmyk": {
"cyan": 44,
"magenta": 12,
"yellow": 0,
"black": 8
}
}
And this is how it’s going to look in the panel:
