Digital Asset Distribution

The Data Dwell platform supports structured distribution of digital assets, designed for both internal collaboration and external sharing. Distribution is enabled through four key features:

Each method provides tailored access, control, and visibility to meet different business needs across teams and audiences.

Dwellings

Dwellings are internal collections of assets grouped around specific purposes—such as campaigns, projects, or products. Each Dwelling can include a short title and description to clarify its intent for users.

They support two sharing modes:

Dwellings are useful for:

Assets within a Dwelling can be shared via Portals or Showcases, offering a streamlined connection between internal use and external presentation.

Portals

Portals are used for sharing digital assets externally with clients, partners, or prospects. They can include assets directly, or distribute assets via folders and Dwellings.

Portals enable flexible sharing without requiring a direct link to specific accounts or contacts. However, when such links are added, usage tracking becomes available on those records—providing visibility into engagement. Tracking is always available on the Portal itself.

Use cases include:

Portals are especially powerful in sales workflows, allowing sales teams to track prospect activity in real time and follow up at the right moment.

Public Links

Public Links offer a fast and straightforward way to share individual assets externally. Unlike Portals, these links do not require user identification or access control.

They are ideal for simple use cases where the asset needs to be made available quickly and openly. Permissions such as view-only or download can be configured depending on the use case.

Showcases

Showcases provide a curated visual experience for presenting digital assets. Currently, the available template supports image galleries, making them ideal for product displays, portfolios, or campaign visuals.

Future templates will expand presentation formats, opening up more use cases beyond static galleries.

Showcases are ideal when presentation and layout matter, and they connect seamlessly with Dwellings to manage the content being displayed.

Flexible, Connected Sharing

Together, Dwellings, Portals, and Showcases form a flexible distribution system that balances control, collaboration, and presentation:

Whether you're collaborating internally or distributing externally, the platform’s distribution tools ensure your assets reach the right audience, at the right time, with the right context.
