Search in Fluxiom just got more powerful

One thing our customers enjoy in Fluxiom is how to organise and filter files using tags. With just one click you can narrow down search results and quickly find the files you’re looking for.

Today we’re exited to take this one step further. With the roll out of search chips, an intuitive and fast way to search and filter your files right from the search field.

As soon as you click in the search field a dropdown appears with chips to narrow down your search. You can either click or type to quickly apply your search criteria.

We have made 3 types of chips available right from the search field:

  • Tags: Tags you create to manage and organise your assets.
  • Auto-tags: Set automatically depending on the properties of your files.
  • Labels: set automatically leveraging object and scene recognition in Fluxiom to auto-label images within your library.

Of course simple search and full-text search within documents, title, name, extension, description, IPTC/EXIF metadata are still supported as you know and love it.

This allows you to refine and adapt your search quickly. For example, you search for images and narrow your results by adding an additional label like “City”.

We hope you enjoy the new powerful search in Fluxiom and it’ll help you find images and documents faster and easier. We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Summary

  • New search functionality for tags and labels
  • Support for labels from object and scene recognition in search field

Group your Fluxiom tags with colours

Some of our customers do have many tags to organise.
We help our customers to keep their data organised and up-to-date. For this reason we picked a customer feedback from our long time customer Peter to share it with all Fluxiom users.

How to work with tag colours

Color your tags to group them visually for better organisation.
At Create tags you can see how to set colours for your own tags.

To colour your tags go to the “Tags section” and click on the grey icon to open the colour chooser to colour each tag.
The chosen tag colour will appear in the Asset view tag panel and all relevant views where you can see your tags.

πŸ’š We hope you are as far so happy with this great customer suggestion as we. Thanks to Peter for reaching out to us with your feedback! πŸ’š
We love your feedback and we are always glad to support you!


Online-Payment Security with Strong User Authentication (SCA)

With the entry into force of the PSD2 Guidelines on 14 September 2019, the European Banking Authority is calling for a higher level of security for all transactions, including payment transactions that involve fraud: this is where Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) comes into play.

The SCA wants to ensure a secure authentication of the user and thus reduce the risk of fraud. For example, the typical card payment has been secured for a long time. When paying online with a credit card, 3D Secure provides strong authentication.
However, the PSD2 now envisages that users who want to access their payment account online or trigger a payment online will also be required to use two-factor-authentication (2FA), which is required for strong customer authentication.

Recurring payment transactions, ie standing orders, with a fixed amount are exempted from the second transaction. Therefore, only the first transaction with an SCA has to be released.

The following steps describe the process:

  • For existing customers
    Here nothing changes until a new credit card will be added.
  • For new customers – when registering for a trial version
    Here nothing changes in the first 30 days.
  • Get a paid account with monthly fee (starter, team, business)
    Got to Account -—> Billing -—> Credit Card to add the credit card details for debit

Step 1: In this step, adding the credit card is required. In the course of entering the credit card data (name, number and check number), the confirmation is also requested in the second step by the user to release the debit.

Step 2: The second step is depending on your Credit Card and will ask you to identify with a push notification, a text message, or another method chosen by your bank.

Step 3: After successfully updating or adding your credit card details this message will appear: Your credit card details were successfully updated

Fluxiom introduces object & scene detection for your images!


Thanks to Nik MacMillan, Holly Mandarich, Julie Macey and Shea Rouda for the perfect picture to illustrate the new Fluxiom feature “automatic labels for your images”.


In the details panel you will find the labels for your images

With this new feature Fluxiom can detect and recognise objects, people and scenes in your images for better search results.

The asset labels are trained and tested to reflect your image characteristics.
This means you can search after labels like “Tree” or “Human” or “Portrait” and many more to find your relevant asset.

Short facts about it:

  • The recognition and detection for the assets is done in Fluxiom – no 3rd party services are used to retrieve labels
  • The labels will be available instantly for all new uploads
  • For all existing images the labels will be generated until end of June

Stay tuned for updates in the next blogpost.

Nice video on how object & scene detection is used in a different used case: “AI Object and Scene Recognition by Huawei”: youtube.com/watch?v=G7EDoF87x4A

πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ™ŒWe’re excited to announce that now all labels are generated for all users. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ™Œ

Fluxiom is changing, starting today

A few weeks ago, we shared our plans to upgrade Fluxiom to a brand new platform featuring cutting-edge hardware and industry-leading connectivity. This platform is now live, and the service has never performed better. With plenty of power to spare, we are now poised to introduce a series of significant improvements to our interface, peeling away older code, letting go of compatibility layers, and revealing a livelier, sprightlier Fluxiom!

Because nobody likes disorientating updates, we will introduce these new features progressively over the coming months, starting today with brand-new login, upload, and download pages β€” new gateways to a new app!

Our fresh new design is crisper and fully responsive, heralding our upcoming transition to a fully mobile interface. It puts your custom brand front and centre and guarantees the fastest possible load times, even on 4G networks. (Can you say iPad Pro on the go?) Whether you are logging into your account or a Stage or even uploading a file to a Fluxiom user’s Inbox, the extra speed and smoother flow will make switching to Fluxiom a breeze.

Improvements to the app’s logic make it easier to navigate traditionally tight corners. For example, you can now log into your account and recover a forgotten password using either your username or your email address. Look for many such small boosts in every corner of the application.

We will share more about our new setup soon, and introduce our exciting new features as they come online. In the meantime, remember the whole team stands ready to answer your questions through in-app chat or email.

Summary

  • The new Fluxiom platform is now live
  • Improvements are scheduled over the coming weeks
  • Key app pages are now faster and better-looking
  • Our transition to an all-responsive UI is underway
  • Log in using either your email or username
