Asset Template

Asset Templates are what Desire consumes to modify and scale based on user inputs to produce assets.

But what exactly are Asset Templates and how are they used?

An Asset Template is, simply put, a Figma file that follows a standardised naming convention. Once such a Figma file is prepared, it can be registered into Desire through an application. When it is time to create actual assets, Desire automagically creates clones of this template, modifies Figma nodes based on naming conventions, registers the cloned Figma into its database and also exports the banners.

Figma File and Node naming conventions

Asset Template files on Figma should have just one banner template.

For example, this is a valid Figma file

Desire supports the following nodes today:

  • Hero Text: Name the TEXT node hero-text to update the primary headline text.

  • Secondary Text: Name the TEXT node secondary-text to update the subheading

  • CTA: Name the TEXT node cta to update the call-to-action text.

  • Product Image: Name the product image node product-image to update the product image.

  • Background Image: If the asset uses an image as its background, name the background image node background to update the background.

  • Brand Logo Image: Name the brand logo image node brand-logo to update the brand logo.

Managing Asset Templates

You can manage Asset Templates by accessing the application by selecting Asset Templates from the Landing Page (Click the Home icon in the sidebar).

Asset Templates are grouped by Themes, which in turn are grouped by Verticals. So, the application allows you to first select a Vertical, following which, you can select one of the Themes under it. This will list all the Asset Templates for the theme.

Click on any Asset Template to view its information or to edit it.

The following sections appear for an existing Asset Template:

Vertical - The Vertical to which this Asset Template belongs

Theme - The Theme to which this Asset Template belongs

Asset Template Name - The name of the current Asset Template

Figma URL - The URL of the Asset Template. Please note that Desire should be authorised to read your Figma files. Discuss with your Super Admin in case of issues.

Asset Image - This shows an image of the Asset Template. If Desire is able to read the Figma file, this image should appear.

Description - An optional description of the Asset Template

Creating Asset Templates

Click on New Asset Template, and fill in the fields based on the description above. If Desire has the right permissions, the image of the Asset Template should appear under the Asset Image section.
