Profile Level Mapping for DAM

Opportunity: Currently Milestone CMS’ DAM provides visibility of assets at a business level but does not provide profile specific assets. Some multi-location businesses require asset visibility at a profile level as certain assets are only used for specific locations.

Solution: When creating folders in Milestone DAM you can now select specific business locations you wish to display this folder for. This allows only the selected business locations to view the folder in their DAM and does not appear in other business locations.

Path: Milestone CMS > Dashboard > Manage Content > Assets

To create a new folder in DAM, click on ‘Add Folder’ to the top right.

Add a folder name and click on ‘Selected Profiles’ to add specific profiles for which this folder should appear.

Select the profile you wish to add this folder for from the dropdown menu.

You can select the user roles that have access to the folder and their access levels.

Click on ‘Save’ once you have made your selections.

The created folder will only appear for the profiles you selected.

Technical Health Scorecard

Milestone’s Technical Health Scorecard is a comprehensive evaluation of a website's search engine optimization (SEO) elements from a technical standpoint. This report identifies areas of improvement to ensure that search engines can easily crawl, index, and rank the website effectively. Regularly conducting these assessments helps maintain a website's optimal visibility in search engine results and can significantly contribute to organic traffic growth.

Path: Milestone Reports > Technical Health Scorecard 

Left Navigation Panel: Milestone Reports > SEO > Technical Health Scorecard
