To configure this feature, ensure Configuring CLM as Document Model is complete.

Optional Configuration

To manage default directories and presentation thumbnails:

1. Navigate to Business Admin > Objects > Multichannel Settings > Global Multichannel Settings.
2. Populate the following Multichannel Settings: 
   • default_directory__v – Defines which directory displays by default when users navigate to the CLM media library. Populate with the External ID value for the appropriate directory.
   • hide_clm_thumbnails_in_all_dir_view__v – Disables presentation thumbnails when directories are not applied to the media library. Applies to the CLM Presentations and Training tabs.

To create a directory:

1. Navigate to Business Admin > Objects > Directories.
2. Select Create.
3. Populate at least the following fields:
   • Directory Name - displays to end users
   • Parent Directory - creates the directory hierarchy
   • Display Order - defines the order the directories are displayed to the users and is optional

     If an order is not defined, the list displays in alphabetical order. If only a portion of the folders are defined, the ordered folders display first and the remaining folders display in alphabetical order. After saving, the level__v field automatically calculates. For CLM, directories can be up to four levels deep.

To assign a CLM presentation to a directory:

1. Navigate to All > Library.
2. Select the appropriate Presentation binder.
3. Select Edit Details.
4. Populate the Directory field in the Content Library Details section of the Information panel with the Directory record you just created.
5. Select Save.

When users navigate to their media libraries, the default directory is automatically applied and only presentations assigned to the default directory display.

To apply a directory to the media library:

1. Select the Filters button.
2. Select the appropriate directory. Directories are indicated by a lock icon. If there are presentations without a specified directory, an Unassociated option displays.

   

3. Select Apply.

Applying a directory displays only the presentations assigned to that directory.

After applying a directory, the next time a user navigates to the media library, the directory is still applied.

The default directory overrides directory stickiness.

To reset the media library to display all presentations:

1. Select the Filters button.
2. Select Reset.

When presentation thumbnails are disabled, presentations do not display in the CLM Presentations and Training tabs in the media library. Users can apply directories or labels to view the assigned presentations. To create and apply labels, see Labeling CLM Presentations for more information.

Thumbnails continue to display in customer-managed directories, the Unassociated directory, and the My Presentations tab (if applicable).
