When you complete a search of either assets or collections, your results will be presented in one of two ways – either as the grid view which will order your results as thumbnails, or in a table view which will show your results in rows and columns.
Both the grid and table views have multiple options for further defining how your search results are presented:
- Sorting Allows for changing the sort order of the results
- Scaling This changes the scale of the pods in the grid view
- Page Size/display options This changes the number of results and the display options in table view, as well as presents any Search Views you’ve created or been assigned
- View Type Changes between Table and Grid view
The two different displays of search have slightly different functionality to match the information they are displaying.
Grid view
- Shows scrub-able thumbnails.
Table view functionality
-
Allows for columns that can be configured by the individual user, or assigned by an administrator.
- Columns can be reodered. Click and drag and on the column header to be able to change the order.
- Columns can be resized. Click and drag on the edge of the column header to resize.
- Save your specific configurations as Search Views to quickly switch between different layouts of included columns.
Overview

Search Pods
The search pods by default shows the following information:

Optionally the following information shows up as an overlay:

Search Row
The search rows can also show the following information by default:

What is shown can be changed under your Search Settings or by an administrator or the display settings, and you can enable from different asset properties (such as archive status, date created) and metadata. ## Right-click menu
By right clicking on the Pod or the row, a menu will open allowing you to interact with the result. The menu options change depending on the type of the result (asset or collection) and whether you have the available role to perform operations. The main options can be:

Please notes that some of the functionality depends on having the correct roles in the system
Drag and drop
Search results rows and pods can be dragged so that you can associate them with collections when you have the collections panel open. Collections can be moved or added to other collections, this uses the Alt/Option modifier key to choose which will happen.
Assets can also be versioned by dragging an asset on top of another asset.
Opening Results
Opening a result will open the asset view for asset results or the collections view for collection results.
To opening a result you can either:
- Double click on the thumbnail
- Click on the title of the result.
If you wish to open the result in a new browser tab, use CTRL/Command-Click.
Functionality for types of results
Certain types of Pods have extra functionality available:
Video
Video asset search pods will allow you to scrub through the video of the video asset as you run the mouse over it from left to right and back again. This functionality is not enabled for the small thumbnail used in the table view.
Audio
Audio asset pods will show the waveform analysis for the audio file when available.
In the thumbnail view the Pod also has a play button for previewing the audio file.
Collection
The Pods and search result will show up to four thumbnails of assets or sub-collections contained within the collection.
