IntroductionThe purpose of this document is to walk through the core features and functionality of the Webdam Drupal 8 module from the perspective of a general Drupal end-user. The user must authenticate themselves by logging into Webdam, to access Webdam assets through the D8 Connector.

Scenario #1: Select an AssetIn this scenario, the module is configured on a media field. To select an asset from Webdam, click the select entities button:

This will display the entity browser (Note: you may have to choose the Webdam tab at the top of the modal window to see the Webdam asset browser depending on how your website administrator has configured the module).

By clicking on a folder, you can see the assets inside. Click on an asset to select it and then click the ‘Select Assets’ button to import those assets into your media field.

Scenario #2: Module Configured for WYSIWYGThe next scenario is configured for the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. (Note: The icon in the WYSIWYG toolbar may vary depending on how your website administrator has configured the module). When you click the icon in the toolbar, the entity browser will be displayed.

Click on a folder to view the assets within, then select one or more assets and click ‘Select Assets’ and choose how you want the embedded asset(s) to be displayed in your content and click ‘Embed’ to insert the assets into the WYSIWYG editor media field.

General Features of the Entity BrowserAs you’ve already seen in the first two scenarios, you can click a folder to view the assets contained within it. This also updates a ‘breadcrumb’ at the top of the asset list and will show the folder hierarchy even when it’s nested multiple levels.

The Entity Browser also contains a robust filtering feature. You can select an image file type and click ‘Apply’ to limit the displayed assets to only the file types selected. You can also sort the assets to rearrange their ordering by factors such as ‘Last Modified Date’. Clicking ‘Reset’ will change all sort/filter selections to their default setting. You are also able to use the Search feature within the Entity Browser to search for assets within the folder you are currently browsing.
