Create contribution folder

AEM administrators and non-admin users having permission to create a new folder, can create a
Contribution
folder in AEM Assets. To create a
Contribution
folder, create a new folder of type
Asset Contribution
, ensuring the new folder created is open to asset submission by Brand Portal users. This automatically triggers a workflow which creates two additional sub folders, called
SHARED
and
NEW
, within the newly created
Contribution
folder.
To create a new contribution folder:
  1. Login to your AEM author instance Default URL: http:// localhost:4502/aem/start.html
  2. Navigate to
    Assets > Files
    It lists all the existing folders in the AEM Assets repository.
  3. Click
    Create
    to create a new folder. Create Folder pop-up window opens.
  4. Enter
    Title
    and
    Name
    of the folder and mark the checkbox
    Asset Contribution
    . It is recommended to use small alphabets without space to name the folder.
  5. Click
    Create
    .
  6. You can see the newly created contribution folder listed in the AEM Assets repository.
  7. Click to open the contribution folder, you can see two sub folders–
    SHARED
    and
    NEW
    are automatically created within the contribution folder.
You can now configure the Contribution folder properties. See, Configure Contribution folder properties .
Ensure that you provide an appropriate name to the Contribution folder as you cannot modify the folder name after creation.
