Digital Assets
Digital assets are files stored in the platform’s cloud storage. They are used primarily as input and output for Storm tools, but can also be referenced across your organization.
Accessing digital assets
Go to Digital Assets from the main navigation. The page lists all assets in your organization with their name, type, and last updated time.
Creating an asset
Click Create Asset and fill in the form:
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Icon | No | Upload a small image to represent the asset |
| Asset Name | Yes | Display name for the asset |
| Short Description | Yes | Up to 300 characters |
| Asset Type | Yes | File Upload or S3 Storage |
| Visibility | Yes | Public or Private |
File Upload
Upload any file up to 10 MB. The file is stored in the platform’s cloud storage.
S3 Storage
Connect an existing S3 bucket by providing:
- S3 Bucket Name
- Folder Path — e.g.
digital-assets/uploads - AWS Access Key ID — select from your environment variables
- AWS Secret Key — select from your environment variables
The asset detail page
Click any asset to open its detail page. You’ll see:
- File path or bucket/folder info
- File type and size (for uploaded files)
- Asset type (File or S3)
- Created and last updated timestamps
- Copy Ref button
- Edit Asset button (if you have permission)
Copy Ref
The Copy Ref button copies the asset’s file reference path — this is what you use in code and API calls.
For a file asset, the copied value looks like:
assets/your-org/your-file.csvThis value maps to asset.file in the platform’s data model.
Using assets in Storm tools
Pass the copied file reference as topic_file in your execution event:
{ "topic_file": "assets/your-org/your-file.csv", "source_asset_id": "<asset UUID>", "target_asset_id": "<output asset UUID>"}topic_file— the file reference from Copy Refsource_asset_id— the asset’s UUID (shown in the URL on the detail page)target_asset_id— UUID of a target asset to write output into
See the Storm guide for full details.
