Digital Asset Exchange

STEP assets can be either images or non-images (based on MIME type), but both include metadata, references, and digital content. For more information, see the MIME Types section of the System Setup / STEP Super User Guide here.

Images are assets, usually with a MIME type of image/*, and can be converted during export from STEP. Modifications can include changes to size, color, and/or converting the file to a format available in the wizard. Image Conversion Configurations allow these modifications to be saved and applied consistently for additional exports. For more information about converting images, see Image Conversion Configurations in the Digital Asset Exchange documentation here.
Non-images are assets with any other MIME type and cannot be modified during an export. Non-images are exported from STEP in the same format and manner that they were loaded into STEP.

Inbound Assets

There are two methods of importing assets into STEP:

Asset Importer allows you to import assets via Web UI and/or hotfolders configured with an Inbound Integration Endpoint here.

Manual Asset Importer allows you to import assets via STEP Workbench but cannot be scheduled here.

Outbound Assets

There are three ways to export assets:

Export Images and Documents wizard allows you to manually export asset digital content here.
Export Manager wizard allows you to manually export asset metadata, references, and digital content, in addition to data, using STEPXML here.
Asset Push allows you to automatically export modified / approved assets here.

To exchange data independent of assets, see the Data Exchange documentation here.
