Depending on your user role and account settings, you may be able to enable uploads directly into Lightboxes. If you have permission to enable uploads into a Lightbox you can set requirements members must meet before they are able to submit assets (i.e. require users to select from a list of suggested tags or choose a rights package).

• Suggested Tags - To help keep tagging robust and consistent, you can create a list of suggested tags for users to choose from when uploading files into a Lightbox.
• Required Tags - To help keep track of uploaded files, you can require users to add at least one tag to your uploaded files. You can supply a set of tags users are required to choose from, or create tags that are automatically applied to all Lightbox uploads. 
• A Permission Statement - To help clarify what uploaded files can be used for, you can require users to choose a Usage Rights statement to apply to the files. This can be optional or required.
  

Follow the steps below to enable member uploads into a Lightbox or Project.

Creator Tags

Tag Suggesters

Tag Suggesters keep tagging consistent for member uploads. A Tag Suggester is a cluster of related tags (ex. Animals: Cow, Pig, Chicken, Dog, Cat) that you want to be easily accessible to users upon upload. Follow these steps to use tag suggesters:

2. Use the dropdown menu "Select Existing" to select from existing Tag Suggesters.
3. Or create a new Tag Suggester in Group management: Click the tab "Create New Tag Suggester". Give it a name and add the tags. Click + Create and Add.
4. Check the box "Required" if you want to require users to select at least one tag from the Tag Suggester. 
   

3. Create a list of Rights Packages for members to choose from.

Check the box if you would like to require members to select a Rights Package
