What’s New in Helix DAM 2023.1
Custom Integrations
Build custom integrations with Helix DAM’s APIs.
The new REST API enables users to build custom integrations with Helix DAM. The API endpoints are documented, and can be found here:
- Helix DAM: https://help.perforce.com/helix-core/helix-dam/current/api
- Helix Search: Add /swagger to the web address to open the Swagger Helix Search REST API web page.
For example:

Custom Workflows
Better support team processes with custom workflows for Kanban boards.
Helix DAM administrators can create custom workflows at the company level to support team processes and terminology.
What’s New in Helix DAM 2022.2
Assign an Asset Review to a User
Workflow improvements to assign review tasks and notify the reviewer
This functionality builds on the existing review status and Kanban board tracker, allowing users to assign review tasks and notify the reviewer of their duty. This enables teams to reduce reliance on outside channels for completing review cycles.
User Defined Metadata Fields
Track the information that is important for your team in Helix DAM
Helix DAM administrators can define custom metadata fields that will apply to the entire instance. Some potential uses for custom metadata fields are terms of use of licensed or purchased assets, project names, and game titles. This allows teams to not only track important information about each asset but also search based on that same information.
Usability & File Support Updates
Various enhancements to the Helix DAM web interface
Helix DAM 2022.2 sees several updates to improve usability, which include:
- Delete assets from a Helix DAM project without leaving the web UI.
- Move assets from a Helix DAM collection to another without leaving the web UI.
- Manually add sub-folders within a Helix DAM collection.
- New visual indicator of the progress and completion of an asset being uploaded to Helix DAM.
New Integration with Blender
Use Helix DAM Without Leaving Blender
The Helix Blender Add-on enables artists and designers to use Helix DAM within Blender. Helix DAM users can seamlessly version all their .blend files directly from Blender, including navigating Helix DAM projects and collections, reviewing comments on each file version, and downloading/uploading .blend files.
