Mixed Media Sets

In Assets, navigate to where you want to create a mixed media set, and click Create, and select Mixed Media Set. You can also create the set from inside a folder that contains your assets.

In the Mixed Media Set Editor page, in Title, enter a name for the Mixed Media Set. The name appears in the banner across the Mixed Media Set. Optionally, enter a description.

NOTE

When creating the mixed media set, you can change the mixed media set thumbnail or allow AEM to select the thumbnail automatically based on the assets in the mixed media set. To select a thumbnail, click Change thumbnail and select any image (you can navigate to other folders to find images as well). If you have selected a thumbnail and then decide that you want AEM to generate one from the mixed media set, select Switch to Automatic thumbnail.

Tap the Asset Selector to select assets that you want to include in your Mixed Media Set. Select them and tap Select.

With the Asset Selector, you can search for assets by typing in a keyword and tapping Return. You can also apply filters to refine your search results. You can filter by path, collection, file type, and tag. Select the filter and then tap the Filter icon from the toolbar. Change the view by selecting the View icon and selecting List, Column, or Card view.

See Working with Selectors.

Re-order the assets by dragging them up or down the list (must select the reorder icon), as necessary.

If you want to add thumbnails, click the + icon next to the image and navigate to the thumbnail you want. When you are done selecting all the thumbnail images tap Save.
