How to Connect P4 DAM Projects to Existing P4 Streams
With the P4 DAM integration into P4, you can add digital asset management to your version control workflow. P4 DAM connects to stream-based and classic depots (also called local depots) in P4.
Here’s how it works:
- First, when creating a new project, use the toggle button to disable the “Automatically create P4 depot” setting. You'll be able to select whether you want to link to a stream-based depot or a classic depot.
- Then, if you select a classic depot, you'll be able to name the branch display name and link a file path. To link stream-based depots and set up your P4 pathing, select the depot and mainline that contains the P4 streams you would like to view and manage in P4 DAM. (Note: You can also import the same streams for multiple projects.)
- Lastly, Select the streams that you would like to show in P4 DAM. You will be able to later toggle these streams on and off if something changes.
This process allows you to work directly in P4 DAM while versioning in the background.
