Digizuite App Installation Guide

Digizuite is a comprehensive digital asset management (DAM) platform designed to help organizations centralize, organize, and efficiently manage digital content. It offers asset storage, metadata management, collaboration tools, and customizable workflows to streamline digital content processes and enable seamless access and distribution of digital assets across the organization.

Digizuite supports a wide range of file types, including common image, video, audio, document, and design file formats. It can handle popular file types such as JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MOV, MP3, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PSD, and AI. This broad file-type support allows organizations to manage diverse digital assets within the Digizuite platform.

After installing the Digizuite app from the Contentstack Marketplace, you can use it within your stack to manage, store, and distribute the digital assets from the Digizuite account within your entries.

Prerequisites

Let's follow this step-by-step guide to install and configure the Digizuite app within your stack.

Steps for Execution

  1. Retrieve the Credentials for your Digizuite account

    Go to the Digizuite website and click the BOOK A DEMO button at the top right corner to book a demo with the Digizuite team.

    During the demo call, the Digizuite team will learn about your configuration requirements. You will be provided with a Unified Dam URL and Media Format ID by the Digizuite team. You will also get the Digizuite username and password to log in to your Digizuite account for the first time when adding assets from the selector page in step 3.

    If you have any queries, you can contact the Digizuite Support team.

  2. Install and Configure the Digizuite App in Marketplace

    To install the app in Contentstack, log in to your Contentstack account and follow the steps below:

    1. From the left-hand side primary navigation, click the Marketplace icon.
    2. Click Apps from the left panel.
    3. Within the Marketplace, you can see all the available apps. Hover over the Digizuite app and click Install.
