Dalet FlexMAM

New Features

Export search results to CSV

A button to export the current search results to a CSV file that can be downloaded to the user’s browser has been added to FlexMAM. Users can choose to export the current page of results or set a custom number of results up to 500.

NOTE: Only the Flex default columns are exported as part of this release. Column templates will apply to the exported CSV in a future release.


Add tags to assets and UDOs in FlexMAM

You can use tags to annotate assets and UDOs directly in FlexMAM. You can apply existing tags or add new tags to any asset or UDO in the Details tab of the Preview Panel or Manage Page. From this release, Tags can be added to media, image, group, UDOs, and package assets of all types. You cannot add tags to a collection.


Search results table settings

To streamline the interface in FlexMAM, all settings and actions that can be performed on the Search Results table, have been grouped in a single icon :

  • Table view/Tile view
  • Manage templates
  • Export search results
  • Enable/Disable content recommendations


Clicking on a keyframe image in the keyframe tab moves the playhead in the player

You can click on a keyframe image in the keyframe tab in Preview Panel/Manage Page to jump the playhead in the Player to the timecode where the image was extracted. When jumping, the Player does not change its state in term of playback, if it was playing, it continues to play, if it was not playing, it remains not playing.


Loading a sequence in the Manage Page

From Dalet Flex 2021.8.0, you can search for sequences that you have created and saved. From this release, you can double click on a sequence in the Search Results table to open in it in the Manage Page. The clips in the sequence are loaded in the Timeline and can be previewed.
