Custom Field Types
Set up the Bynder field in Sitecore templates before content authors can select assets.
This is a developer/admin setup task (template modeling), not an authoring task.
Option 1: Use a Pre-Delivered Base Template
The recommended approach for most use cases:
Pre-Delivered Base Templates
The connector includes seven pre-built base templates under /sitecore/templates/Modules/BynderDam. Choose the one that matches your asset selection requirements:
| Template | Field Name | Mode | Asset Types | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
bd_BynderBaseSingleFile | BynderDamSingleFile | SingleSelectFile | All | Single file selection with DAT support |
bd_BynderBaseSingleSelect | BynderDamSingleSelect | SingleSelect | All | Single asset selection |
bd_BynderBaseMultiSelect | BynderDamMultiSelect | MultiSelect | All | Multiple asset selection |
bd_BynderBaseImage | BynderDamImage | SingleSelect | image | Image-only selection |
bd_BynderBaseVideo | BynderDamVideo | SingleSelect | video | Video-only selection |
bd_BynderBaseAudio | BynderDamAudio | SingleSelect | audio | Audio-only selection |
bd_BynderBaseDocument | BynderDamDocument | SingleSelect | document | Document-only selection |
All fields are configured as Plugin type with source ID: pub-acdcf8ff-54f9-4269-977a-c4be5b8fde10 (Bynder DAM Connector for SitecoreAI public Marketplace App ID)
For full template details, see What Gets Created.
