Choosing properties to view

Choosing properties to view

By default, the Fields panel displays all of the properties for a selected asset.

The Fields panel is organized into groups of fields in several categories, such as Basic, File Info, and Movie.

To view the fields in a category, click + next to the category name.

To hide the fields in a category, click next to its name.

Filtering the list of fields

You may find that you regularly access certain properties, and rarely or never use others.

Instead of displaying all available fields, you can specify a set of fields that you want to display, and the order they are listed in.

To filter the list of fields in the Fields panel:

  1. Open the Fields panel if it isn’t already displayed.

  2. Choose Edit Fields from the drop-down menu .

  3. Drag field names from the list of All Fields on the left into the list on the right.

    To remove a field name from the list of Selected Fields, drag it off the list.

    You can reorder the list of fields by dragging the field names up or down in the list.

  4. Click Save to save the list of Filtered Fields.

You can switch between displaying All Fields and My Filtered Fields using the drop-down menu  at the top of the Fields panel.

The menu may also include other sets of field lists that you can choose; users with Catalog Administrator or Publisher access to the catalog can create these preset lists. See Field Preset Lists.
