Adding a custom field to a field template

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.

Fields

Data for fields whose name starts with "exif_" will be mapped from the uploaded file metadata.

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 visible in the back office for a given file or a folder.
