Cascade CMS provides two options to display asset links: by their system name (as in previous Cascade CMS versions) or by their Title or Display Name.
We require displaying the asset's system name, to match the asset's published filenames / url. You can mouse over any asset name in the Site Content display area to see its full path (system name and path relative to the site's root directory).
