This article explains how to use the asset catalog to search for existing assets.


Finding assets in the catalog

Use the extensive search function to locate a specific asset within your catalog.

  1. Enter a title or ID into the search field.

2. For a more granular search, select the More search options link to open the filters panel.

The filters allow you to narrow down your results by:

  • Item type

  • Subtype

  • Genre

  • Keyword

  • Category

  • Distributor

  • Deal

  • Status

  • Segmentation tag

Using ‌filters

All filters except keyword operate as combined drop-downs and type-in fields. The keyword field is type-in only.

To remove a single term, select x on the term.

Clear_all_filters.png

To remove all terms, select x by the drop-down arrows.

To remove all applied search criteria, select the Clear_search.png link.

Viewing search results

Assets matching the search criteria you apply are displayed in a sortable table.

An orange circular icon underneath an asset title indicates that it's offerable.

If there are no results for your search, you might need to add a custom asset to your catalog. Custom assets are those you create within Presentation Manager, rather than ingesting.

Take a look at our custom assets article to learn how to add and edit this asset type.

Sorting assets

Sort by Title, Type, Date Modified, or Date Created by clicking the relevant column header. You'll see an arrow beside the column header on which the table is currently sorted.

By default, the search excludes archived assets. To view them, select Archived from the item status filter:

Viewing asset information

Select the relevant thumbnail or title from the search results table to view information about a particular asset.

From the asset's detail page, use the left-hand navigation to view and edit asset metadata, scheduling, images, themes, offers, and related assets.

Channel search

Within the Channels section, as of Presentation Manager 9.9, you can search channels by name or ID, or you can filter via Classification Systems (choose between various national regulatory bodies) and the corresponding Classification Ratings (age ratings such as PG, 12, 18, etc).
