Media Library
Upload, organize, and manage the files used across your screens and playlists.
Introduction
The Media Library (FI: Mediakirjasto) is where all your uploaded files live. Images, videos, and PDFs you'll use across multiple screens or playlists belong here. The library supports folders, per-folder permissions, file previews, search, and bulk actions. Files in the library are reusable across every screen and playlist in your organization.
How the library is organized
The Media Library has two layers:
- Folders at the top level. You name them however you like (e.g. Campaigns, Logos, Lunch menus).
- Files inside folders: images, videos, or PDFs.
- Filter the file view by type using the Images / Videos / Documents tabs (FI: Kuvat / Videot / Dokumentit).
- Each folder has its own permissions, controlling which Users can see or modify the files inside.
Creating folders
Add a new folder:
- From the Media Library, click New folder (FI: Uusi kansio) or Add new folder (FI: Lisää uusi kansio).
- Enter a folder name.
- Optionally configure permissions: Allow all users (FI: Salli kaikki käyttäjät) for organization-wide access, or pick specific Users.
- Click Create (FI: Luo).
Uploading files
Add files to a folder:
- Click Upload (FI: Lataa).
- In the upload modal, pick the target folder (Choose the folder / FI: Valitse kansio). You must have at least one folder before you can upload.
- Drag files into the modal or click to browse.
- Click Upload to start. A success toast confirms each upload.
Tip
If a file is used by a screen or playlist and you delete it from the Media Library, the slide referencing it will break. Replace the slide first, then delete the file.
File detail and actions
Click any file to open its detail view:
- Preview (FI: Esikatselu) showing the file.
- Metadata: Name (FI: Nimi), File type (FI: Tyyppi), Size (FI: Koko), Dimensions (FI: Mitat), Media ID (FI: Median tunnus), Folder (FI: Kansio).
- Rename (FI: Nimeä uudelleen) to change the file's display name.
- Download (FI: Lataa) to save a copy locally.
- Delete (FI: Poista) to remove the file from your library.
Bulk actions
Work with many files at once:
- Use the checkboxes next to files to select multiple at once.
- Use Select all (FI: Valitse kaikki) to grab everything in the current view.
- With files selected, you can Download (FI: Lataa) or Delete (FI: Poista) in batch.
- A counter at the top shows how many are selected (FI: Valittu).
Folder permissions
Control who can see and use files:
- Click Manage permissions (FI: Hallitse oikeuksia) on a folder.
- Toggle Allow all users (FI: Salli kaikki käyttäjät) for organization-wide access.
- Or pick specific Users to grant access. Other Users won't see the folder at all.
- Admins always have access to every folder.
Note
Folder permissions are independent from screen permissions. A User who has access to a screen but not the folder containing the slide's image will see the slide play but won't be able to edit the underlying file.
Searching
Find files quickly:
- Use the top search bar (Search media / FI: Hae mediaa) to search across all folders.
- Inside a folder, use Search folder (FI: Hae kansiosta) to scope the search to that folder.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- File doesn't upload: check format and size. See Supported file types.
- "No space in storage" (FI: Ei tallennustilaa): your organization is at the storage limit. Delete unused files or contact us at kasper@infoboxi.com to discuss an upgrade.
- You can't see a file: the folder it lives in may be permission-restricted. Ask an Admin to grant you access.
- You can't delete a file: same issue, you need permission to that folder, or Admin role.
Summary
The Media Library is the durable home for files used across your screens and playlists. Organize with folders, control access with per-folder permissions, and search to find anything fast.
