Create a customizable, intelligent storage system for your media files and data. Your media than can easily integrate into a visible Landing page.
To begin, pick from our progenerated template for your specific libraries needs.
You can create a custom template by contacting us
here.
We offer a wide array of features and offer templates to give general use cases and basic structure. All templates can be customized to your preferences and enable/disable any features.
(We also provide assistance in the creation of your library in the paid service)
From the list of templates, you can click on each for more information such as the specific features enabled for that specific template.
You also have the option to preview the template live to see if it works for you.
2. Customize your data
eMedia Libraries core organizational component is our "Smart Folders."
Our Smart Folders interface visually organizes by having parent files on the left, and connect to child folders on the left.
First, lets create a folder!
2.1. Create Smart folders
To create a new folder, click on Smart Folder on the left side of the screen.
Double click on the folder to bring up its data content menu.
The first input box is the name of the folder. This can be changed at any time with no impact.
The second input box is for the
ID of the folder. This acts as the reference point other folders connect to. Best not to change this after naming it.
The big input box allows you to describe what specifically this folder is intended for. When collaborating with others, its useful to have detail to its contents so others do not overload the file with unneeded content.
The next section is labeled"
On Menu" and has a drop down selector. From here you can select the folders placement on the top menu section within your app, if any.
The order of 1st - 5th is from left to right. So selecting the 1st placement option will place the folder you are editing onto the 1st left position on the menu bar.
Below the"On Menu" drop box are selections to edit the Settings, Fields and Search parameters for the search.
2.2. Add Relationships
To create links from one Smart Folder to the next, click on one of the bulges on the icon and slide to the desired folder to connect to.
2.3. Deploying and Testing
Once you have your folders in place, click on "Deploy" button in the top right of the app. This will save your template and reorganize the menu and features within the app to your specified folder structure.
2.4. Adding Fields
To create a new image to use in your book, navigate to the book and go to
Files tab, then in the top right corner click on the
Create With AI button.
2.5. Adding Lightboxes
To create a new image to use in your book, navigate to the book and go to
Files tab, then in the top right corner click on the
Create With AI button.
3. Add Content
Upload your already perfected content, or create your own from within the eMedia App!
Below are the instructions for both uploading content and creating your own with our built-in AI content generator.
3.1. Uploading (drag and drop, folders)
From your desired folder, you can add files and content by clicking on the "
import" button on the top right.
From this new page, you can see that you can drag and drop individual files, or entire folders for upload.
On the right side of the screen, you have a few detail inputs you can fill in for organizational purposes. For most, "Tags" are useful inputs to aid in organization and retrieval.
Additionally, you can also upload content via URL by selecting the proper tab on the left side of the screen.
This will take you to a new tab with an input box requesting the URL you wish to import from.
3.2. Use AI to create content
We offer a built in AI content creation option within our Smart Folders! Easily create an image to visualize your ideas.
Within any folder, you can click on the green button on the top-left labeled "
Create New." This will create a new file within the folder.
In the newly created file, we have a "
Create with AI" button at the top right.
When clicked, it brings you to our AI interface with prompt interface for you to fill in, instructing the AI on what to create.
Below you will find details on each input field.
Al Target to Create
Type the primary subject of the image in this field (e.g. a cityscape, a rubber duck, a car, etc.)
*This is a required field.
AI Content List
You can optionally enter any additional secondary subjects or details that you want your image to have.
AI Styles
You can specify the styles of the image, like whether they should be realistic or illustrative.
AI Similar To
You can provide a real-life example of something similar to what you want to create.
AI Prompt
This shows you the generated prompt based on the fields above in real time. You can add more context manually if needed to expand upon your creation.
Fill in the form and click"
Create" which will start the generation process. This may take up to several minutes. In the mean time, you can close the window and continue with other tasks.
Once the AI has finished generating the image, you will see it in the"
Files" tab.
3.3. Opening Folders on Desktop
We also offer a downloadable desktop client to easier work on your projects and edit content.
Our desktop App also makes it easier to work on your projects and syncs to the eMedia Library data, making content creation even easier!
Any project can have multiple collaborators to enhance workflow.
Each individual folder has a share button, denoted by the "
Share" icon we are all familiar with.
This will take you to the "Share" page, which has many options to share your content. For now, we only wish to collaborate with others and so the default page will suffice for our needs.
4.1. Share a link
Each folder will provide its own URL to share. This aids in delegating specific tasks to individual people and maximize overall project security.
The default available URL links for sharing are already customized to the specific folder from which you clicked the"share" icon.
Simply copy the link, either through highlighting or clicking the "
copy" button and send it on its way!
4.2. Permissions
Our share options can be customized depending if you want the receiver to view or edit the contents of the folder.
To access permissions, click its specified tab on the left of the screen.
From this page, you can also add new collaborators via the green"
+ Add" button and inputting their email address.
5. Customize the User Interface
The end use case of eMedia's innovative software is to not only organize and secure your data, but also properly display the content of your choosing into a basic landing page.
The ability to display the data of your choosing is essential to having an intelligent library.
"
Knowledge not shared remains unknown"
-Chris Grabenstein, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
You can make your library your own by branding your setup and display to your own liking. This is perfect for business or content creators that wish to create and promote a "brand."
5.1. Edit your theme
From within your template, click on the cog icon in the side bar on the left side of the screen.
The cog will bring you to the page above, from which you can select your personal view of "Light" or "Dark" mode.
Depending if you prefer Light or Dark, click your desired tab on the left.
From this page, you can upload your brands logo or generate a logo using the blue AI button.
Below the logo options, you can find the"Advanced options" button, from which you can further edit your templates colors.
5.2. Edit Landing Page
For the landing page, we have a HTML editor with a basic interface to edit your landing page. The landing page will be like your homepage on a website, acting as an interface to your content.
An in-depth "How-To" to edit your landing page can be found here:
