Sourcing images
You can source images from Brandfolder and the CMS Shared Assets website.
Brandfolder
Brandfolder is our online Digital Asset Management tool. It contains our online photo database and official brand assets.
Images can be downloaded and resized from Brandfolder, and then uploaded to the CMS Shared Assets website for use on your website. Many general-use Brandfolder images have already been uploaded to a common images folder in the Shared Assets website: /shared/ontario-tech/images. You can embed the images in this folder instead of re-uploading the same image to your faculty or department folder.
Shared Assets website in the CMS
Shared Assets website - a central website in the CMS where all assets (images, documents and other files) are uploaded and saved.
Images and documents that are uploaded to the Shared Assets website in the CMS are published to the live site shared.ontariotechu.ca.
Each faculty and department owns their own subsection of this site―only the particular faculty or department can edit the files within their subsection. However, all CMS users can view and link to files in all other faculty or department folders. This ensures there is only a single, up-to-date instance of a particular file uploaded to the CMS so everyone can link to the same file. If the file owner updates this file, the file will be updated on all pages and sites linking to the file.
There is also a general university images folder in the Shared Assets website which contains many generic images you can use: /shared/ontario-tech/images. You can embed the images in this folder instead of re-uploading the same image to your faculty or department folder.
If you do not own or manage the original version of a file, please do not upload your copy of this file to your department folder in the CMS. Contact the owner of the file to determine its location in the Shared Assets website or contact us so you can link to the original file internally.
