Hello Pickit admin, and welcome to the world’s simplest digital asset management system. Built for the modern workplace, it’s the easiest way to organize, optimize and share your company images, documents, templates and brand assets in Microsoft 365 and on the web.

As an administrator, you have access to analytics and actionable insights, making it easy to optimize your DAM and increase your colleagues’ productivity. This guide takes a closer look at the core features and capabilities of Insights which include Searches, Top Lists and Image Rights. For additional information about Admin capabilities and features please reference our Pickit for Admins Overview Guide.

Logging In

Administrators must log in to the online version of Pickit to manage their DAM. You can log in using your email/password credentials or single sign-on at app.pickit.com.

14-log-in-web

Once signed in, you will see the Public facing view of the DAM that end-users will also have access to. From here, only administrators can see the option in the top left corner to select the Content Administration view. 

At the home page for Content Administration, you can see a list of the core features which includes Insights.

 

Searches

In the Searches view, you see a word cloud that utilizes text size and color to display search activity for images to indicate how your image bank performs against the keywords that are searched.  

The larger the word, the more times it’s been searched. Green words return a variety of images, yellow – between 1 and 25 images, and red words return no results. You can hover over a word to see the exact amount of images it returns.

In the top right corner, you'll see a toggle prompting you to display statistics for either the last week or month. Here you can also toggle between activity made in your Company Images vs. Pickit’s Public Images section. 

You can use the Searches data to better understand how people are searching for images and identify areas of improvement. For example, are images tagged with the right words? Do people understand what words they should be searching for to find images? Are you lacking any content altogether? 

 

Top Lists

In the Top Lists view, you can see your most and least-used images and collections, as well as update their metadata.

You can choose to sort your top and least used collections based on views, the average number of inserts per view, or when they were last updated

Next to each collection in the list, you can see whether it’s a Hero/Featured collection and whether it belongs to any group.

If you'd like to edit the description or keywords for an image, simply press the pink Edit button, enter the information and press the pink Save button. 

In the top right corner, you'll see a toggle prompting you to display statistics for either the last week or month. Here you can also toggle between activity made in your Company Images vs. Pickit’s Public Images section for top used Images and Collections. Data about the Least used images and collections is only available for Company Images

You can use the Top Lists data to better understand how people are interacting with your collections and identify areas of improvement. For example, are certain collections performing better than others because of their placement in the image bank; like a Hero or Featured Collection? 

 

Image Rights

First, you will see the Table Overview section which displays an overview of all images in your image bank and their respective licenses.  

11-image-rights

If you'd like to edit the image rights information for an image, simply press the pink Edit button. From here, you will have the option to edit license type, license name, copyright, expiration date, and releases. Press the pink Save button when you are ready to update. 

The second section is Statistics, where you will see charts titled license overview and license distribution. This will help you understand what types of image licenses you have and if you have any images that are lacking license information.

Lastly, we give you the option to export Image Rights data into a CSV file. Simply click the Export button on the top left and your data will download in a consolidated file.
