Custom Smart Tags for images

Transcript

Hey, everyone. In this video, we are going to discuss about enhanced smart tags introducing Adobe Experience Manager 6.4. Smart tags introduced with AEM 6.2 augments the search capabilities of of Adobe Experience Manager, by automatically adding moderator tags to image assets that you upload to a folder. With AEM 6.4 Assets You can further train your smart tagging capability by adding more relevant, user-generated enhanced tags within AEM, which would help these smart-tagging service to create a better model and tag your image assets. Let me show you how we could have do this. I’m using the 6.4 version of AEM, which is generally available. From your home screen, let’s navigate to assets and open the We_retail English folder. I created a new folder called Time and it has two sub-folders. Clock and Watch. Let’s open the folder. Under the watch folder, you can notice a set of images that I uploaded recently and each of these assets within the folder provides a clear representation of time and watch. Let’s open the second folder and you can notice that the assets inside represents time and clock. Let’s navigate back to our pattern folder and switch from card view to list view. It is easy to perform bulk updates to assets using the list view. Let’s open the Watch folder. Let’s open a new tab and navigate to AEM Tags under Tools.

Select the We_retail name space instead of the time tag. We need to create two enhanced tags. One for assets related to watches and one for assets related to clock. Forward the name and title for your first enhanced smart tag. Repeat the steps for the second tag as well.

Now, we have successfully created two enhanced smart tag to train our smart tags.

Alternatively, we can forward different tag names, like time machine or time clock. Let’s navigate back to our AEM Assets folder and select one of the assets and view its properties. You can notice that under Asset Metadata, you can really do not see any smart tags added for this particular asset. So before we perform smart tag training, we need to make sure that the existing assets are smart tagged with at least two tags for each image. Once the asset has smart tag, then we need to add our enhanced smart tags to all the relevant assets before we start to train smart tags. Let’s navigate back to the pattern folder and create a workflow for both the folders by clicking on the Create option and then select Workflow. Select the DAM Smart Tag Assets workflow and start your workflow. Warning: This workflow reads each asset within the folder and adds smart tag under the Asset Metadata. Let’s repeat the step for the other folder as well.

After successfully completing the workflow, let’s open one of the folders and open an asset to view its properties. You can notice that the image gets smart-tagged with all the other eleven tags for that particular asset. In this step, we have successfully smart-tagged all our assets. Now, let’s perform our bulk tag update to all the assets within the Watch folder. Select all the assets and then click on Properties. Using the tag finder, select the enhanced smart tag that we have created for assets related to watches. Save and close the changes. Make sure you select the open mode to add the enhanced smart tags to the existing tags. Similarly, let’s bulk update all the assets stored under the Clock folder. with the enhanced smart tag we created for Clock. Now, it is time to train our smart tags with the new enhanced smart tags. Select the AEM Tags tab, and then navigate the Tools and then select Workflow. Click Open Models and then select Smart Tag Training workflow, and click on Start Workflow option from the top toolbar. Navigate to our Time folder using the pathfinder window and then confirm your selection. Optionally, you can forward a Time workflow and then click Run. While the workflow is in process, let’s create an asset report for the enhanced smart tags. Click on the Tools and then under Assets, click on Reports. Create a new report and then select the Smart Tags Training report tag then click Next. Forward the title and description for your report and then click Create. In a few seconds, you should be able to see your asset report complete with the success message. Let’s open the asset report and you can see the list of enhanced smart tags that has been trained and ready for tagging. You can see the time clock and time watch enhanced smart tag that we created in the previous step. At this point, as a content author or admin, I was able to create an enhanced smart tag, assigned enhanced smart tag to a set of relevant assets, and then trained these smart tags using the Smart Tag Training workflow. Initially, we performed a bulk update to all the assets within enhanced smart tags and now we have trained smart tags to perform the same operation without having you to add the tags manually. Let’s see how it is done. Let’s navigate back to our Assets tab and then switch to Watch folder.

I have two sample image assets. Each for Clock and Watch Let’s click on the Create option and upload two files that looks like a watch and see what happens.

Similarly, let’s upload two sample assets for Clock as well.

These assets are not smart-tagged yet. Let’s switch to the Model workflow and perform a DAM Smart Tag Assets workflow on the pattern Time folder.

Once the workflow is complete, open the new Assets that we uploaded in the previous steps.

Let’s open the sample-2.jpeg clock image and view its properties. Under the Metadata Tab and Tags field, you can notice the enhanced smart tag which is We_Retail:time/Clock that we trained as well as the general smart tags. Similarly, let’s open the sample-4.jpeg Asset under Watch folder and view its properties. You can notice the enhanced smart tag as well as the general smart tags added to this asset. AEM 6.4 Assets provide some much more powerful smart content service within AEM Assets to achieve enhanced smart-tagging of assets. It uses manually tagged assets to train smart tags which then helps to tag assets more appropriately. Enhanced smart tags further helps improve your surf-search experience, makes it easy for content altering with the right asset. -
