Linking a DAM, PIM or cloud storage system to the CI HUB Connector is quick and easy. You can keep track of them all in one place, and change or remove them whenever you like. This makes it easy to find and use everything you need, all in one spot.
Adding a DAM, PIM or cloud storage system
No matter which DAM, PIM or cloud storage system you want to link, the steps are always the same and easy to follow.
1. Open the Connections Overview
Click the "+" icon in the CI HUB panel to see everything available to link.
- If you haven't added anything yet, the "+" icon will blink blue to let you know you can get started.
- If there are a lot of options to choose from, you can:
- Type in a name to search for a specific one.
- Use filters like "Favorites" or "DAM, PIM or cloud storage system" to narrow things down.
- Check the "Favorites" filter to quickly find the ones you've starred before.
You can also learn more about a system before deciding to link it.
2. Select and Authorize a DAM, PIM, or cloud storage system
Here's how to add one:
- Click the "+" icon next to the one you want.
- You'll be taken to its own sign-in page.
- Enter your username and password, then allow CI HUB Connector to access your account.
This sign-in step works just like logging in normally, it's safe and secure.
Once you've signed in, it will automatically show up in your CI HUB Connector. You can repeat these steps anytime to add more.
3. Manage Your Connected DAM, PIM, or cloud storage system
Once a DAM, PIM or cloud storage system is set up, here's what you can do:
- It will appear in the "Connections" list in the CI HUB panel.
- A green checkmark next to the name means it's working properly.
- You can rename it, handy if you use more than one account for the same system.
- Don't need it anymore? Click the trash bin icon to remove it.
- Want faster access next time? Click the star icon to mark it as a favorite.
- If your list is getting long, click the white arrow to collapse the section and tidy up your workspace.
With these simple steps, you can easily set up, organize, and manage everything right from the CI HUB panel.
Save and load connections
Once everything is linked the way you want, you can save your setup so you don't have to redo it later. Just click the "Save connections" icon in the menu. A window will pop up asking you to create a password (at least 6 characters). Type it in and click "Save."
Want to bring everything back later? Click "Load profile," enter the same password, and your setup will be restored.
Why is this useful?
Let's say you linked all your systems while working in Adobe InDesign, and now you need to switch to Microsoft PowerPoint. No problem, if you saved your setup, you can bring it all back with just one click, whether you're in PowerPoint or any other Office program.
