MySource Matrix asset map

The asset map

You will need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version of 1.4.2_12 or greater to run the asset map in Matrix.

To test your version of the JRE, log in to the simple edit interface and click the vertical, purple bar, running down the left-hand side of the screen. Your asset map, if it is working correctly, should look something like the image on the right.

On older computers, the asset map may take up to one minute to load. If you are unable to view the asset map, contact your computer support officer.
