It’s always available on the bottom right of the Search page.
When opened from different places within Iconik:
- From the Search Page - The uploader will upload to the default place and default storage unless you make changes to these settings.
- From a Collection - When you have navigated to a collection, triggering any upload will then upload the files directly to the collection you are in.
- From the an Asset’s page - When you upload from an Asset, the uploader will ask whether you want to create a new version of an asset or whether you wish to create a new format - the file uploaded will not create a new asset in iconik at this point.
Roles
These are the roles that are needed:
- asset

Functionality
Basic Uploading
You can drag files from your computer into iconik or open a file chooser + button to put them into the upload list.
Location for upload
If you have multiple storage locations that you use for storing files for your assets, you can choose where you want the files to end up. The user will require write ACLs on that storage, unless they have the role web_can_upload_legacy
- Add the files to the uploader as per normal
- Select the upload storage from the list
- Press UPLOAD
- If you want to upload more files to another destination, then repeat steps 1 to 3, the existing files will still upload to the previously selected destination.
Upload Options
You are able to do the following when either right-clicking on the filename in the uploader or choosing from the menu
- Edit Title - Edits the title that the asset will get when the file has finished uploading.
- Set Metadata - Adds metadata using the metadata window.
- Add Permissions - add additional permissions beyond the asset or collection level.
- Remove - Removes the file from the list.
- File info - You can get information on the file you are uploading, such as its size, what storage it will end up in, and whether it’s associated with any Asset or Collection.
Setting Permissions
Before you upload, you can set the basic permissions that you want on the file:
- Collection - The file can be seen by anyone who has access to the collection that you are uploading to.
- Only Me - Only you and Administrators will be able to see the file
- Default - It will get the default permissions set up by your administrator.
Setting Transcode Priority
If your administrator has enabled it, you can also set the priority at which the file will be placed in the transcode queue.
Viewing the files that you uploaded
If you would like to view the files that you uploaded then you can make a search from the upload widget.
Clearing the upload queue
You can clear the queue if you have finished uploading or you have files that you don’t want uploaded to the uploader.
