Asset Selector — Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) | Digital Asset Management

Asset selector lets you search, filter, and browse the DAM assets. Asset selector is available at https://[aem_server]:[port]/aem/assetpicker.html. You can fetch the metadata of your selected assets using the asset selector. You can launch it with supported request parameters, such as asset type (image, video, text) and selection mode (single or multiple selections). These parameters set the context of the asset selector for a particular search instance and remain intact throughout the selection.

Some of the important request parameters:

mode — single, multiple
root - root folder for the asset selector.e.g /content/dam/test
viewmode — search
assettype — Images, documents, multimedia, archives
mimetype - MIME type(e.g png)

Sample URL — http://localhost:4502/aem/assetpicker.html?mode=multiple&root=/content/dam/test&mimetype=*png

The asset selector uses the HTML5 Window.postMessage message to send data for the selected asset to the recipient.
