Arranging and Organizing

In addition to the extensive and convenient search options, you can arrange and organize assets individually. In Media Pool various functions are available to help you do this.

You can access assets which you flag as favorites using > Assets > Collections > My Favorites. For more information, see Favorites.

You can group various assets in a collection and make the collection available to other users. An example of this would be a collection of images for a campaign. You can also use the collection to make assets available to users who would otherwise not have access to the assets. This is the case, for example, if the asset is stored in a VDB for which a different user does not have access.

For more information, see Collections.

If the function is activated in your system, you can rate assets (1 to 5 stars) and leave comments. You can use the average rating of an asset as search criteria. The number of stars is displayed directly from the preview image of an asset.

For more information, see Rating.

Subscriptions allow you to track changes to assets.

For more information, see Subscription.

To group together assets with identical content, such as images in a series, different languages, or different colors, you can create the assets as variants of a leading asset. This lets you structure assets and mark them as belonging to each other. Only the master asset is displayed in search results. You can access all the variants quickly and easily using the detailed view of the master asset. If an alternative preview image has been assigned to an asset, it will be displayed in the Variants tab.
For more information, see Variants.

You can flag assets that belong together as related to each other. You can also define the type of relationship in the attributes. For more information, see Related Assets.
