Uploading a Document Asset

To Upload a Document Asset, follow the steps below:

• From the Left Nav Menu, click Assets.   
• On the Assets page > Upload Asset.    
• From the Create Asset pop-up window, select the Asset Type, Document. 
• In the Create Asset pop-up window, enter the Name of the Document Asset, and the Title auto-populates. You can edit the Title if you wish.
  Important: When an Asset's name reflects its content, it makes content categorization and selection easy. The user sees the Title when engaging with the Asset.
   
• Click on Choose under Folder to select a Folder for the Asset. To learn more about Folders, click here.
  
  
• Choose the appropriate Asset type by selecting an option from the Type drop-down list. Hushly offers a wide range of over 12 content types to choose from. Select the type that best matches the added Asset, whether it is an Article, EBook, Brochure, or any other relevant format.
   
• English is selected by default. You can select another language from the drop-down list.    
• By default, the Ungated button is set to No. If you want all the pages in the document to be visible to users, switch the toggle to Yes. This ensures unrestricted access to the content, making it fully viewable for users without additional barriers.    
• When the Ungated button is toggled to Yes, the Allow Anonymous Download option becomes visible. By default, this toggle is set to No, but you can switch it to Yes if you want to allow anonymous users to download the content.   
• The Upload option is the default choice for uploading a document Asset. However, you can select the External URL option to upload an asset from an External URL. To learn more about Uploading a Document Asset from an External URL you can refer to this document.    
• Click Select File To Upload to open the file explorer. From the file explorer, navigate to and select the desired file for upload. You can also drag and drop the file into the Select File To Upload box to upload.
   
  
• Click Save. You are redirected to the Setup tab of the Asset.
  
  On the Setup tab, define information about the Asset and its content.

  

  The mandatory information fields of the Setup tab, Name, Title, and Type are prepopulated with the values you configured for the Asset using the steps above. However, you can edit or change all of them.
  
  Important: All the fields in the above window are grouped into sections, as per usage namely,
  • Metadata: Name, Title, Description, Type, Language, Fulfilment URL, and Tags.

  The excerpt is effective only on the V3 hub.
  Excerpts can also be generated using AI via the Ask Mitab (Excerpts) link.

  Note: The maximum character length for the description is 2000.
   
• Enter the Fulfillment URL. The fulfillment URL hosts the ungated Asset.
  
  • If the Fulfillment URL is configured, the user is redirected to the URL.
  • If the Fulfillment URL is not configured, the user views the entire Asset, and any related content, hosted on a Hushly domain, app.hushly.com/asset.

  • Pages 1-5 (a range of pages)
  • Pages 1, 3-5, 10 (individual pages and a range of pages)
    
    Note: You can use a maximum of a hundred pages in a preview.
    
    When you want to make the entire document available through the preview, such as infographics, charts, tables, outlines, and how-to information. Set the Ungated button to Yes, the Preview Pages to enter the page numbers would not be displayed as the entire content is shown to the user.

• Enter an Opt-in Message. The user sees this message above the opt-in form used for providing the business email. The default message is shown below: 
  
• Click Tokens (optional) to use them in the Opt-in Message. Use the {{asset.name}}, {{asset.type}}, and {{asset.content.type}} tokens to refer to the Asset information dynamically. 
  Using tokens helps to prevent typos in Asset names, saves time, and reflects changes in the Asset information.
   
• The Enable Content Conversation option tracks the conversations between the user and the Mitab of the asset.
  
  By default, the Enable Content Conversation button is set to No. However, toggle the button to Yes to enable the content conversation.

• You can also use the Ask Mitab (SEO Title and Description) beta link to automatically recommend an option that is most suitable for your asset's SEO Title and Description. Click here  to learn how.  
• Enter a valid URL in the Canonical URL field. 
  Note: Search engines would crawl each page's content to compile a massive index of all the words it sees and their location on each page. In addition, they process information included in key content tags and attributes, such as <title> tags and alt attributes. To prevent Search engines from crawling these duplicate versions of the same page, we can configure a Canonical URL.
  
  
• Thumbnail 1 (500x272 pixels) is auto-generated when you upload an Asset. However, you can also upload Thumbnail 2 (500x660 pixels), which can be set to view at the Stream level on the Hub. Click here to learn more about Thumbnails.
