Most Popular User Features

Our most popular features are those that truly separate us from other DAM systems.

iDAM Finder watch demo
The iDAM Finder is a truly unique way to search for your digital assets. Our approach to finding assets lets you have complete control over how you filter or distill information. This greatly speeds up your ability to find assets.
Filtered Search watch demo
Our award winning filtered search now includes Projects and Collections. The filtered search feature easily distills millions of assets with just a few clicks off the mouse. Users are able to create personalized "one click" search filters with complex Boolean search parameters.
iDAM Express watch demo
Securely send and receive assets in the iDAM system by using iDAMExpress. One click lets you batch send and receive files locking source documents and sending only derivative copies. iDAM's logging index records all activity and notifies you when assets have been delivered and downloaded.
Document Creator
Upload multi-page documents to iDAM (PDF, inDesign, Word etc.) and extract individual pages of that document to a carousel. Then create a new document based on those extracted pages.
Select multiple assets in iDAM and with a single click and dynamically generate a single Powerpoint file. iDAM re-sizes all selected assets for use in a Powerpoint document and applies your company's brand template. User configurable metadata such as Project or Collection name as well as Asset name can also be inserted into the dynamically created Powerpoint file.
InDesign Integration
Upload CS3 and CS4 inDesign documents to the iDAM system. iDAM extracts all links in the inDesign file and indexes the entire document. All extracted links are preserved in the iDAM Link Editor.
Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop entire folders from your desktop or even inside iDAM, retaining all formatting including sub-folder categorization. Drag and drop assets directly into any application and retain the network path location for easy workflow.
Dynamic Quick Tag
Content administrators now have an easy to use dynamic tagging tool that floats on top of your asset page. This lets you quickly select and tag multiple assets together for better search results.
Hot Folders
Using the iDAMLive module users can have "Hot Folders" on any network location to enable automated ingestion and indexing into the iDAM system. Automatic metadata tagging and security attributes are applied to "Hot Folder" assets.
