Adding Assets to a Folder
 
You can add assets to a folder from the Search pane’s search results list after you have conducted a search, from the Tasks pane’s attachments area or from the Associations pane’s associations list. This action does not save or copy the asset to the folder. You are creating and saving only a reference to the asset. Each folder can have only one reference that points to the same asset. If you try to add a second reference to the same asset, a message is displayed.
To add asset references to a folder:
1. Do one the following:
*Open the Search pane and conduct a search for MAM assets. For more information, see Conducting a Search.
*Open the Tasks pane and select a task. For more information, see Adding and Editing User Task Attachments.
*Open the Associations pane and show associations in the associations list. For more information, see Viewing Associated Assets.
2. Select one or more assets in the search results list or the task attachments area.
3. Drag the selection to the name or icon of the folder into which you want to paste the asset references.
The folder expands to show its contents and a green icon indicates if dropping is possible.
4. Release the mouse button.
Valid asset references are pasted into the folder. References to assets that are not allowed as contents of the folder are not pasted.
If there is already a reference to an asset with the same identifier in the folder, a message is displayed, and the asset is not pasted.
