Flow includes a visual media asset manager, designed to provide you with easy, quick asset retrieval. 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. As you add graphic media for content, Flow stores them in your own Media Gallery on the Super Ticker the Chameleon Server, with unlimited access and usability. Expand |

| For example, when you want to display a small thumbnail image beside each story topic in a zone, as you specify graphics manually for story content, those graphics can be added to the Media 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. |
You can access a view-only version of the Media Management module in Flow. From the Home page, select Media. Otherwise, you can contribute to your own Media Gallery repository through supported Flow modules, such as Stories. Image RemovedImage Added Image RemovedImage Added
