The HIVO Upload Process consists of 3 main steps: 1️⃣ Add Assets - Select assets, manage duplicate files, and rename files. 2️⃣ Tagging Assets - Manually add tags to better organize data. 3️⃣ Asset Details - Provide additional information such as copyright, license, permissions, and running automations etc.
📌 In this step, you can:
Drag & drop files/folders into the browser, or
Click the "Add Files" or "Add Folder" button to select the assets you want to upload.
💡 Note: If you upload a folder, its structure will be retained in HIVO unless you modify the path in the 'Asset Details' step.
HIVO automatically detects duplicate files by comparing file names, sizes, etc. If duplicates are found, you will see a "View Duplicates" button. Click it to check details and remove duplicates if needed.
👉 To rename assets during upload See Renaming Assets During Upload section.
👉 To remove assets during upload See Remove Duplicates on Upload section.
📌 After selecting assets to upload, click "Next" to proceed to the tagging step. The next step is 'Tag Assets', where you can add labels to all selected Assets.
Tags help you organize assets more efficiently, such as by event name, department, etc.
Adding as many related labels as possible will make it easier for you to search for Assets by those label values later, see more 'Tagging Asset'.
✅ Select from a pre-configured list of tags set by the Admin, or ✅ Enter tags manually in the "Your Tags" free-text field.
💡 Notes:
An asset can have multiple tags.
You can tag only a selection of assets instead of all.
Click the question mark (?) icon in the top right corner to learn more about adding tags, including how to only tag a selection of Assets.
⚙ Admin users can customize the default available manual tags in the Uploader Settings (Client Profile => Settings => Uploader Settings).
📌 In this step, you can add additional details for the selected assets.
💡 Note:
Settings in this step apply to all selected assets.
The more detailed the asset information the easier it will be to find your assets later.
👉 It’s recommended to keep ✅ "Create Thumbnail" and "Create Web Version" enabled for optimal display.a

HIVO offers automation tools to save time and effort. Some key automation features include:
Specifically, the automation tasks are as follows:
Tag Prediction
Face Detection
Image Caption Prediction
This feature allows you to generate captions for images automatically.
Create Thumbnail
A ‘thumbnail’ version will be added to each asset. This version is a 450x450 .jpeg with a small (~15kb) file size, which will be used as a small preview within HIVO (e.g. in the Library).
Create Web Version
A ‘web’ version will be added to image Assets. This version will retain the image aspect ratio, but be scaled down to have a maximum width/height of 2048px in order to reduce the file size and load faster.
Create Watermark Version

A 'square' version will be added to image assets. This version is a size of 1048px.
