As you know from the introductory article, in Marmind, the main business logic is represented by the object tree, which also serves as a backbone of the Marmind UI.
In Marmind, each asset has a context, i.e., it is always attached to an object. There are no contextless assets like in Censhare.
Although the entire data model is not synchronized from Marmind to Censhare, some of the Marmind objects have counterparts in Censhare, for convenience.
Adding Marmind context objects to Censhare
Upon adding a new asset to Marmind, its context object is replicated in Censhare as a parent asset of this media asset. If necessary, a new asset is created for such object. If the same object had been synched to Censhare before, only the relationship will be added.
E.g., if you add an image to a campaign in the Marmind UI, you will find both of them in Censhare.
As a result, a new media asset will be shown as an assignment of the context object, and the context object will show a list of assigned media assets, just like for any Censhare assets with parent-child relationship.
On the media asset page, the parent assets/objects are shown in the Marmind Objects widget, placed directly on the Overview tab. From this widget, it is possible to open each of them in Marmind.
This approach enables users to relate media assets to their context objects while working in Censhare.
Limitations
-
Inside Censhare, Marmind objects are not related to each other, i.e., the object tree as it exists in Marmind isnotreplicated.
Please do not create such relationships manually in Censhare, this will lead to confusing results in the background sync.
-
Object assets are only created and maintained for reference. Their updates in Marmind are not synchronized to Censhare. -
For now, it is possible to create any of such asset types in Censhare – if you have sufficient rights to do so – but they won‘t be synchronized to Marmind.
-
Only create Marmind tree objects directly in the Marmind system. -
Only use Marmind for any changes on the object assets.
