Adding an asset resource
The asset can contain any number of resources of all different types. For example, if the digital asset is for a book, the upload files may be the PDF file of the book’s electronic form and a JPEG image of the book's cover. If the digital asset is for a painting, the upload file may be a GIF image of that painting. The Manage Resources page allows you to add or remove files from a digital asset.

Uploading large files can overload the memory buffer and result in instability in the system. Upload limits depend on upload speed and file size. The current upload size limit is around 70 MB per file and times out after 5 minutes. If an upload takes more than 5 minutes, you should check server logs for errors. The Import Assets bulk loader has a time out of 60 minutes. You may be able to upload a large file using this method. For more information, see Importing multiple assets. |
