The list view is a way to display assets with detailed metadata.

2. Asset-view within list view with more metadata

Detail view

To get into the detail view double-click on one asset or click "view files" in the action panel.

1. Find available options within the detail view here.

2. Metadata fields are identical to the filters in the filter pane. So if a metadata field is filled out, you can search for that data specifically and thus find the assets.

You can find more information about this in the topic block Metadata

The slider view allows you to view two assets and move the image sections. This is the best way to compare the details.

Difference

It is also possible to compare the assets based on a color difference.

• To do this, click on “Difference”.

The visibility for the different roles is controlled via the status of an asset.

For example, a user with the "Consumer" role will not see a file that is still being edited because they only need final files.

For a creator, this is his working file that he needs and therefore it is also visible to him.

The traffic light status indicates that a download is not available at all or only available on request.

1. Yellow traffic light = On request
2. Red traffic light = blocked
3. No traffic light = unrestricted

Contact person

If you need an asset that shows a red traffic light, please get in touch with the contact person(s). For an asset with a yellow traffic light please use the request process, to be found under Downloads > On request.

In the asset's metadata under Usage you can find

Corresponding with the entered metadata, you can explicitly search for assets with a specific traffic light status in the filter options (Usage).

For example, if you only want to see assets without download restrictions, select option 1 or 2.

Option 2 means, there are restrictions you need to respect, but you can still download the asset.
