# Custom routing

The Custom routing setting can be managed under the *Settings / Library / Storage / Custom routing menu.*

Custom routing rules in DAM allow you to rewrite URLs to match specific file paths and names, making public asset URLs shorter and more user-friendly. \
\
These rules utilize regular expressions (REGEX) to ensure that lengthy or complex URLs can be simplified without affecting the organization or accessibility of the assets. This feature improves URL usability while maintaining structured file management within the DAM system.<br>

This feature should be requested to the [Support team](https://scaleflex.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new) for activation prior to be possible to use it in DAM.
