Adapt the asset list

The content bar above the asset list offers various ways to change which content is displayed in the asset list and how it is displayed:

• Activate the "Show content of child collections" check box to show both assets inside the currently selected collection and assets inside its chidl collections.

• To sort the assets in the asset list, choose a property to sort by from the sorting drop-down menu and click the respective button for the sorting order, which reflects the current sort order:

• - The asset list is currently sorted in descending order. Click this button to sort ascending.

• - The asset list is currently sorted in ascending order. Click this button to sort descending.

• Click or to show the asset previews in either a table with the most important information about each asset, or as larger thumbnails without additional information.

• If the thumbnail layout is activated, you can switch between three thumbnail sizes using the respective buttons:

• Click to expand or collapse the sidebar and show a larger asset preview and all asset metadata for a selected asset.

Sorting works in two ways, depending on whether the asset list is shown in list view or card view:

• In list view: A small arrow icon next to a column's name indicates that the asset list is sorted by this column. The arrow points down when the asset list is sorted in descending order and up when the asset list is sorted in ascending order. By default, the assets are sorted by the "Modification date" column. To sort the asset list by a different column, just click the column header (name) of another column. The asset list will then be sorted in ascending order. Click the column header again to sort in descending order.

• In card view: The content bar contains a drop-down menu with different sorting options to choose from. Additionally, you can switch between ascending order and descending order with a small button next to the drop-down:
  

If the asset list is shown in list view mode, you can rearrange the asset list columns.

To move a column to a different position, simply hover over the column header, drag the column header with your mouse, and drop it to the new position. To resize a column, hover over the column name and drag the resize handler on the right side with your mouse to decrease or increase the column width.

When viewing objects in the list view, you can choose which information about them you want to see and in what language.

To add or remove a column in the asset list:

1. Click the menu icon in the top right corner of the list.

2. The asset list configuration menu appears. There, check the boxes for information fields or properties you want to display in the asset list.

   For some fields, you can display the content in multiple languages.

3. Click "APPLY" at the bottom of the menu.

4. The selected fields are displayed as new columns in the asset list and are marked with a blue check mark in the asset list configuration menu. Once you re-enter the menu, all active fields will be displayed in alphabetical order at the top of the menu.

   The maximum number of displayed columns can be configured according to your company needs. By default, you can add up to 15 columns to your asset list.

To remove a column from the asset list, uncheck the field in the asset list configuration menu.

Add a language column for a field

You can show some selected fields in the asset list in multiple languages:

1. When you select a localized field in the column list, a new "Add language" button appears on it:
   

2. Click the button. A list with all configured languages appears.

   If a field does not have multiple locales enabled, the "Add language" button will not appear.

3. There, check the box next to a language, or click "select all" to choose all languages. If the number of selected languages is greater than the configured maximum number, a warning message will appear.

4. For each activated language, a new column appears:
   

To remove a language column, deselect the language in the asset list configuration menu.

In the asset list configuration menu, you can save a column configuration:

1. Once you've chosen suitable columns, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the menu.

2. A new dialog opens and shows all your saved configurations:
   

3. In the dialog, enter a name for your current configuration.

   If you enter the same name as or select an already existing configuration, you can overwrite it upon saving.

4. Click "Save and apply" (if you entered a new name) or "Overwrite and apply" (if you selected an existing configuration).

   Information that gets saved

   For each column configuration, the selected columns, their widths and order in the asset list are saved. So, if you rearrange columns and save the new arrangement as a new column configuration, the order will be persisted if you load it again.

5. The dialog closes and the chosen columns are immediately applied to the asset list.

Furthermore, you can load a saved column configuration again:

1. Click the "Load" button at the bottom of the menu.

2. A new dialog opens and shows all your saved configurations.

3. Click a configuration in the dialog to select it.

4. Click "Load".

5. The dialog closes and the loaded configuration is immediately applied to the asset list.
