About managing the image bank collection in Atlantis

The Atlantis Image bank module is the complete solution for professionally registering, organizing, and presenting multimedia collections online. From strict rights management to seamless public access.

Image bank

In the digital age, it is essential that image collections are managed securely, efficiently, and with total clarity. Our multimedia collection system is specifically designed to centralize the registration, organization, and distribution of diverse media assets. This system ensures reliable access to valuable visual materials, while strictly enforcing copyright compliance and usage rights.

The image bank module supports the registration, management, and publication of digital images, audio, and video files in full-streaming format, as well as other media files. Within the historical photo collections, comprehensive records are maintained for copyrights, usage restrictions, and reproduction or research requests submitted via the public access interface.

User roles and rights management

The collection management software provides a robust framework for rights management and access control across all stored digital assets. Through role-based access control—including roles such as Application Administrator, Collection Manager, and Volunteer—permitted actions within the module are clearly defined. This ensures that only authorized personnel can upload, edit, or publish media externally. Additionally, access rights can be flexibly assigned per segment or collection type, ensuring the secure and efficient management of your photo archiving collection and audiovisual assets.

Flexible and intuitive

With Atlantis, you can configure the image bank module to fit your exact workflows using the Configuration Cockpit. Thanks to Dynamic Fields and the Screen Builder, data entry forms can be customized as needed, making this module exceptionally versatile. Furthermore, integrated viewers allow users to access linked images, audio, video, and documents instantly, without requiring downloads or third-party plug-ins.
