Media data modelling
The Media area has the file and folder entities, which can have configurable attributes and access control.
Folder
Folder behaves in the same way as a folder in the file explorer, i.e. it is a container for media files and subfolders.
Access to the files and subfolders can be controlled by setting permissions for the parent folder, i.e. subfolders automatically inherit the access control permissions from the parent folder at creation time.
Folders can have configurable attributes through folder templates.
Files
Files in the Media area can contain any file. The exif tags of the files are automatically extracted at upload time.
Files can have configurable attributes through file templates.
Folder and file templates
These templates define which attributes are visibile in backoffice for a given file or a folder.
The following example shows how to create a field template in the media section and create a folder by using that field template.
