    Digital Asset management was incorporated into the ERM module as of Spydus 10.6. Earlier versions of Spydus will share much of the same functionality (via worksheets), but will not be able to perform Digital Assets management via the ERM module, or have access to Azure services described in the following article/s. 

    To access the Digital Assets management interface, navigate to the ERM module, and click the Digital Assets tile.

    View Folders or View List 

    Digital Assets management allows two interfaces for displaying Digital Asset records; Folders, or Lists.

    Folders display records in a more traditional file manager style interface, while Lists allow users to load or retrieve a specific record to work with.

    To switch between the views, click the View Folders or View List button in the action bar.
