Download AP Media Content

After you find the AP Media content that you want to use, you can download and purchase the content. For Streamline users that do not have permission to manage AP Media transactions, they can request the download of content. Streamline does not download the requested content until a Streamline user with the permission to manage AP Media transactions approves the content download request.

You can download AP Media content into an existing asset associated with a work order, or you can create a new asset for the content.

When you download an AP Media content item into an existing asset, the AP Media metadata overwrites all the metadata associated with the existing asset.

To download content from the AP Media

1.Use one of the following methods to view the AP Media content item to download in the Feed View panel:

•Use the  AP Media list in the main toolbar to open an AP Media feed.

•Create a new AP Media One-Time search.

•In the AP Search dialog box, use the  Recent Searches menu to select a recent AP Media One-Time search created by any of the users on the Streamline Server.

To filter the Destination list, enter in the Filter box a portion of the asset name you want to select. You do not need to enter the start of an asset name, just any portion of the name filters the Destination list. The Destination list automatically updates to display only the assets with names that contain the text entered in the Filter box.

To complete the asset, edit the asset metadata as required and then approve the asset.

For users that do not have permission to manage AP Media transactions, the Asset Editor panel displays an asset with a placeholder for the image from the selected AP Media content item.
