What Gets Created

Once you install the Bynder DAM Connector for SitecoreAI through either the Pages Context Panel setup or Fullscreen setup, the installation process creates several templates, configuration items, and system folders in your SitecoreAI instance. This page provides a reference guide for everything that gets created.

Sitecore Templates

Two templates are created in /sitecore/templates/Modules/BynderDam/:

bd_Settings Template

• Path: /sitecore/templates/Modules/BynderDam/bd_Settings
• Purpose: Stores the Bynder integration portal API key
• Fields:
  • ApiKey (Single-Line Text) - Your Bynder integration portal API key

bd_BynderBaseSingleFile Template

• Path: /sitecore/templates/Modules/BynderDam/bd_BynderBaseSingleFile
• Purpose: Base template for Bynder-enabled content items
• Fields:
  • BynderDamSingleFile (Custom Field) - Asset selector field

System Item

A configuration item is created at:

/sitecore/system/Modules/BynderDam/bd_Settings

This item stores your Bynder integration portal API key securely in Sitecore's content tree, which the connector retrieves during initialization. The API key is stored here, eliminating the need for environment variable configuration.

Updating Configuration

To update the API key after initial setup:

1. Navigate to /sitecore/system/Modules/BynderDam/bd_Settings in Sitecore Content Editor
2. Edit the ApiKey field
3. Save the item
4. Refresh any open field extensions or app instances

Global Configuration

The API key is stored globally in SitecoreAI. All users and content items share the same Bynder portal connection.
