Using the Search Tab

Currently there are four types of asset searches:

• Production Templates: Searches assets found in the Global Visual Library folder, such as beginning or ending slates, templates, or official general authority portraits.

• Production Assets: Searches assets in both the Approved Content and Team Work domains. This search includes tags, along with metadata. Tags must be typed exactly as they appear (such as lower-case). However, tags do not show in the search results, only when viewing the asset.

• Licensed Stock Library: Searches assets found in the Licensed Stock folder, such as images from Adobe Stock, Getty, etc.

• Scripture Asset Library: Searches assets found in the Scripture Library folder, such as Book of Mormon visual assets.

1. Click the Search () icon on the left-side menu.

2. In the top Search Filters field, select the type of search to use.

   

3. In the Search field, enter your search terms.



Note: You can search for a PD number and it will retrieve assets with that number in the metadata, but currently the PD number itself will not display in the table columns.

4. You can also enter or select items in the filters below. For example, in the Media Type field, select “video” to include only videos in the results. If Auto Search at the bottom is on, search results will display as you type or enter data. You can turn Auto Search off, and then click the Search button to see the results.

Note: The filters available are different depending on the type of search. If a drop-down list is available, it will display when you click in the field. For definitions and examples of the fields, see Metadata

Note: To clear search criteria, at the bottom, click Clear.
