Content Type Configuration

In order to support the automatic upload of assets from the Content Store to DC-X, a special field must be added to the definition of all relevant content types (i.e, graphics and video content types). This field is used to hold DC-X status information about the content items / assets. The field can have any name, but it must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Be a basic field with the MIME type application/json

  • Be read-only

  • Be identified as a DC-X status field with a ui:dam-status child element

It should also ideally be hidden. Here is an example of a suitable field definition:

<field name="_dam_status" type="basic" mime-type="application/json">
  <ui:hidden/>
  <ui:read-only/>
  <ui:dam-status/>
</field>
