Filter assets

Especially when you’re working on a big project having a structure is a real time saver. Besides organizing your assets in folders there’s another tool that helps you navigating through your assets quickly: the filter!

The filter recognizes the assets automatically after the import and assigns them to the respective category.

Here’s how the filter look like in the asset manager:

When you open the asset manager the filter is set on “All” per default. This means that all assets are visible at once within the current view. Active filter are always marked blue, you can also activate multiple filters at once.

Now let’s have a look what each filter does in detail:

• All: All assets, no matter which type or format, you've ever imported within the current file are visible at once.
• Text: Assets, which are only a text become visible.
• Image: Assets, which are an image become visible.
• Font: Assets, which are a font become visible.
• Tagged/Untagged: If you have imported the xml-Tags from your InDesign you can have a look here which of the assets are tagged or untagged.
• Used/Unused: This filter shows you which of the assets you have already used and which not.

Here’s an example of working with filter:

Imagine you work on a bigger project and have multiple images that fit to one article. After some time you’ve lost track which image you’ve already used and which not. In this case you can select the filter “Image” and “Unused” at once. As a result you receive all images (no fonts, no texts – only images) that haven’t been used in this project yet.

See screenshot below: The tags “Image” and “Unused” are selected at once, that’s why they are blue. Since we didn’t select a filter for Tagged/Untagged the filter remains on the default setting “All”:
