Asset Filters

This article will show you how to use asset filters and metadata to search through assets in the backend of your brand space.

Updated over a week ago

We know that you might have many assets in your libraries and projects, and keeping track of names and locations can be difficult. This is why an asset filter is integrated – helping you to quickly find assets in different ways.

The asset filter can be found on the top of your Libraries and Projects in the backend of your brand space.

For both Libraries and Projects, the filter options are the same.

Getting started with Asset Filters in Libraries

The asset filter for the Media Library, Logo, Icon, Document Libraries has a comprehensive sorting system that allows you to search by name, keywords and filters:

In addition to keywords, when searching tags, AI-generated tags are shown in a small section called "Matches found by AI."

Search and select filters and metadata

Standard filters are displayed by default, such as the creator, download protection, licenses, tags, and workflow status. If you want to search based on Metadata values, you can also do so by browsing the custom Metadata in the filter search. You can continue to drill down your asset search by choosing specific filters by continuing to click on ‘add filter’.

For example, you can do a keyword search and also check on the status of an asset:

Or you also have the option to search by assets that have download protection. This will allow asset managers to have a good overview of the assets that have or have not been protected if this has been done individually, rather than library or folder level.

You can quickly clear all filters by clicking ‘clear all’ or manually closing out specific filters you have applied to your search.

No value filters

Sometimes there are assets with custom metadata properties in your Libraries/Projects that haven’t been assigned a value yet for the custom metadata. If you want to locate them, you can click ‘add filter’ and choose the specific custom metadata filter. From there, you can choose the option ‘no filter’ which will filter assets with missing metadata value. This makes curation of missing metadata faster and easier to use.
