Moving Digital Assets using Adobe Experience Manager Workflows

When working with Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 digital assets, you can use workflows to achieve business requirements. Not all business requirements can be achieved by using out of the box Experience Manager components. To achieve some requirements, you need to build custom workflows. In some cases, you need to build custom workflow steps by using the Experience Manager Workflow API.

For example, consider a business requirement where a digital asset has to be archived based on an asset property. That is, you want to place an asset into a archive folder if its archive property is true. Using out of the box workflow steps, you cannot achieve this use case. To achieve this requirement, you need to build a custom workflow step that moves the asset to a folder under /content/dam.

The following video shows the workflow model that moves a digital asset to the archive folder and then deletes it.
