Brandworkz Update To 5.1.2


One of our featured DAM Vendors, Brandworkz have upgraded their Digital Asset Management system of the same name to 5.1.2.  The key new features include:

  • Integration of ‘Showcase’ – which appears to be a kind of collaborative brand portal with some social media elements, blogging and the ability to feature key assets.
  • Workflow email notifications for deadlines and key events
  • Ability to show/hide fields dependent on where the asset is within the workflow process
  • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) Single Sign On (SSO).  SAML is a standard for enterprise SSO which is gaining momentum currently
  • Define default metadata for groups of users
  • User group-specific home/landing pages
  • Links to pages managed by their CMS are permissions aware and hidden if the user cannot have access to them.

There are various other stability and performance enhancements referenced in the PR also.
