PowerShell Module: MediaValet.DAM.Standard

Description: Connects to your MediaValet DAM platform and sets up the session for DAM operations. All DAM commands require that the connection has been established.

	Connect-MvDamAccount
		[-Username] <String>
		[-Password] <String>

		[<CommonParameters>]

Parameters

-Username (Required) This is your username in email format (e.g. john@mediavaletcustomer.com) that you use to login to your cloud DAM library.

-Password (Required) This is your password passed as a SecureString. You will be prompted to enter your password if you omit this. Otherwise, convert your password into a SecureString before passing this as a parameter.

-Region (Required) The region code that you are logging into:

Examples

Create a SecureString password and use it in connecting:

$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -String Password0246! -AsPlainText -Force
Connect-MvDamAccount -Username "john@companyname.com" -Region "mv-cato" -Password $pass

Or you can omit -Password and just enter it when prompted:

Connect-MvDamAccount -Username "john@companyname.com" -Region "mv-cato"

Importing Asset Keywords from CSV

Before you can import asset keywords from CSV, you need to have an asset info export file available and populated with the keywords. For the import, the required columns are Id and Keywords. The rest of the columns for generated by the asset info export are not needed although they are useful for providing the user with a filename reference when the CSV is being updated with the keywords.

Before you proceed with an import, please check the following:

• The System.Id columm does not contain any <<NOT FOUND>> or <<MULTIPLE>> values. If the export file was generated from a filename list and it does not find a matching filename, the System.Id will show up as <<NOT FOUND>>. If multiple matches were found, then the System.Id will show <<MULTIPLE>> on the System.Id column and the System.Description will provide a list of asset Ids that match the filename.

Once you have verified that the CSV with keywords is ready for import, you can execute the following command:

Import-MvDamAssetKeywordFromCsv -Path C:\Temp\export-assetinfo-keywords-edited.csv

This will update the corresponding assets in the DAM with the Keywords in the CSV specified in the -Path parameter.
