Managing time-sensitive media across seasonal campaigns, product launches, and licensing agreements requires precise tracking. New Asset Availability and Scheduling in Akeneo DAM gives you the ability to assign specific activation dates to product media, ensuring assets automatically become active and available for use or expire according to your campaign timelines and licensing windows.
Why does it matter?
- Hands-Off Updates: Akeneo automatically evaluates and updates asset statuses daily based on your predefined dates.
- Compliance and Licensing Protection: Prevent copyright risks by ensuring assets are automatically unlinked from products the day a usage right or model license expires.
- Simplify Campaign Launches: Stage embargoed or seasonal assets in advance so they can go live on launch day without last minute manual intervention.
- At-a-Glance Visibility: Keep teams aligned with asset statuses and activation periods that are clearly visible directly within the asset grid, making public availability easy to audit.
How does it work?
- Set status and dates: Navigate to the new Availability tab on any asset page to set its status (Enabled or Disabled) and select optional “Enabled from” and “Enabled until” dates.
- Automated scheduling: Statuses recalculate immediately after date edits and update automatically every day at 00:00 UTC.
- Bulk management: Manage availability dates individually or using bulk edits, imports, and exports.
- Downstream control: Disabled assets remain linked to product internally, but you can filter product exports to ensure only enabled assets are distributed to downstream channels.
