How to Create a Showcase

Showcases allow you to create public or private galleries of digital assets for external sharing. By linking a showcase to a Dwelling, you can present curated collections of assets in a visually engaging format. This is ideal for product visuals, marketing campaigns, or stakeholder presentations.

Accessing Showcases

Navigate to the Share section in the left-hand menu
Select Showcases

The showcase list displays the following columns:

Showcase: The name of the showcase
Link: Click Open to view the external showcase URL
Dwelling: The Dwelling connected to the showcase

Click anywhere on a row (except the Open button) to edit the showcase. Use the three-dot menu on the right for quick actions: Edit or Delete.

Creating a Showcase

Click the + New button at the top right
Complete the showcase form:
- Name (required): Internal identifier for the showcase
- Title: Displayed as the main heading on the public gallery
- Subtitle: Optional subheading for additional context
- Description: Describes the purpose or contents of the showcase
- Slug (required): Forms the unique URL path for the public link (no spaces allowed)
- Password: Leave empty for no password protection, or set a password to require viewers to authenticate before accessing
- Categorization Type: Choose No Categorization or Metafield
- Dwelling (required): Select the Dwelling from which assets will be pulled
- Profile (required): Select a metadata profile to control what asset information is displayed
- Showcase Template (required): Select a template for the gallery layout
- Public: Toggle on to make the showcase accessible externally, or leave off for private (inaccessible externally)
Save the showcase

Using Categorization

When you select Metafield as the categorization type, you can choose a custom metafield (up to two levels). This creates grouped navigation on the showcase, allowing external viewers to browse assets organised by that metafield's values.

Viewing a Showcase

To view a showcase externally:

Click the Open button in the Link column from the showcase list, or
Navigate directly to the showcase URL using the slug you defined

Note: The showcase must be set to Public to be accessible externally. If a password is set, viewers must enter it before the showcase content is displayed.
