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 / 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 Configuration 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

These are the 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

These are the ways to export assets:

• Export Images and Documents wizard allows you to manually export asset digital content here.
• Export Manager or an OIEP 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.
• REST API allows you to upload files to REST. For more information, click the STEP API Documentation button on the STEP WebStart page.

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