K4 & seven
Unique publishing workflow
Probably the most intelligent connection between a DAM and a publishing system. This deep integration between seven and K4 means that users immediately benefit from the typical features of a publishing system with the added advantage of a fully integrated digital asset management system.
Integrating a DAM with a publishing system is about more than just being able to drag assets onto a layout. Only a really smart integration can save users time and effort. Only this way editors, layout designers, and project managers, whether print or digital, can use metadata, transparently track where assets are used, and even control usage rights.

Bi-directional integration
This deep integration between seven and K4 means that users benefit immediately from typical features of an editorial system with the added benefit of a fully integrated digital asset management system. The connection is bi-directional, i.e. assets from seven can be placed directly from seven‘s browser client into Adobe InDesign via drag & drop and used in K4 for production.
If a seven asset is used in K4 production, seven users can immediately track this because a corresponding usage list is automatically added and displayed. In this way, for example, a decision can be made quickly on a secondary use. So users immediately take advantage from this intelligent connection between DAM and publishing system.
Add more value to your workflow
All content, including its metadata, can be used in production with K4. A caption, for example, can be automatically taken from the metadata and placed in the layout. Rights to use are controlled directly from seven. For example, if a user decides that an asset in seven is no longer usable due to image rights or licensing, the user in K4 is notified of such.
Something special about this integration is that the link created is a URL that links the asset directly to vjoon seven. Other InDesign users who, for example, work on the layout at a later point in the workflow won’t even need to be logged in to seven to view and update a placed asset in the layout.
Drag & Drop
Assets from seven can be placed directly from seven‘s browser client via drag & drop into Adobe InDesign and used in K4 for production.
Linked Assets
The link created is a URL that links the asset directly to seven. Other InDesign users, for example, who work on the layout at a later point in the workflow, do not even need to be logged in to seven to view and update a placed asset in the layout.
Metadata
All assets in seven, including their metadata, can be used in production with K4 and a caption can be automatically taken from the metadata and placed in the layout.
Where-used list
If a vjoon seven asset is used in K4 production, seven users can immediately track it because a corresponding where-used list is automatically added and displayed. In this way, a decision on a secondary use, for example, can be made quickly.
Control rights to use
The rights of use are directly controlled by vjoon seven. For example, if a user decides that an asset is no longer usable in seven due to image rights or licenses, the user is informed of this in vjoon K4 by a clearly recognizable notice and can no longer use the image.
