Feature

Share and collaborate

Send files to colleagues, external parties, or the press - Manja DAM lets you work together across organizational boundaries with powerful collaboration features.

Sending files

Manja DAM allows you to easily send files to other Manja DAM users without any technical hurdles (such as full mailboxes or restrictions on the size of email attachments).

You just select the files and click on send. In the dialog that appears, you select the recipient, the permissions you want to transfer to the recipient (if applicable) and add a message. Send, done.

The recipient receives an e-mail with the message and a link. In Manja DAM, the files you sent are then available to him in a new lightbox.

Files can be sent in two ways. On the one hand as a lightbox, which compiles the files as a collection, and with a link via e-mail. On the other hand as an attachment to an email generated from the system and sent to selected recipients.

Invite guests

Just as easily you can send files to people who are not yet Manja DAM users.

As recipient you only have to select “Send to a guest…”, then enter name, e-mail address and select a duration (e.g. 7 days). And the guest will receive an email with a direct link to the system and access to the selected files (and only to these files).

The guest’s user account will be deleted after the selected duration has expired but can also be converted into a full user account by an administrator within this time.

If you want to send files to a recipient who does not have user access to Manja, you can define this via a guest user. In this case, a user login is temporarily created, the validity of which you define. Using this guest login, the user can log in and open the lightbox.

Send files as an attachment

You can also send files as e-mail attachments.

This is especially useful for in-house installations, whenever you want to send files to external parties that do not have access to the Manja DAM installation.

You can easily send files as attachments by e-mail. To do this, select the relevant files and click on

Publish files

You can publish files directly from Manja DAM. This allows you to make files available to a larger group of recipients comfortably and without much effort.

To do so, you create a so-called “publication” in the administration area based on a template (e.g. “Image Collections/Galleries”) and configurate various options such as design variants, contact data, allow download, etc.

You can then add files to a specific publication at any time with just a few clicks. You are also able to send the URL of the publication by e-mail, link from your website etc. – the published files are available to everyone without additional registration.

Selected files can be published as a compilation. This means that via a generated link these files incl. preview function and further functions like download/download are offered. To do this, select the desired files and click on
A publication makes selected files available for viewing, downloading, and with selected metadata. A publication is always created with a corresponding link that can be further distributed by e-mail or posted on the website, for example. Likewise, a publication can be protected with a password so that only authorized persons have access to the publication. The publication can be customized according to the corporate design or corporate identity of the company/institution. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
