Flow includes a visual media repository asset manager, designed to provide you with easy, quick asset retrieval and reuse. While traditional image storage libraries exist independent of your news and broadcast systems, the Media Management module offers you a fully integrated media storage library that collects and stores all of your media in a central repository for reuse. Integrated media storage means less hardware, less support, and more reuse convenience. As you add graphic media for content, such as graphics, Flow stores them in the Media Manager, and you can reuse them over and overyour own Media Gallery on the Chameleon Server, with unlimited access and usability.

module. Once the graphics have been added, you can reuse them any time in future content. As you define resource tags for story graphic assets, you can pull them directly from the integrated gallery.
