5. Searching for Media
5.1 Search Types
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find a
specific element. The Pane Bins offers several ways to restrict the list of elements
displayed in the Elements grid and speed up your search:
•
Branch selection in the Tree view - Select a branch of the Tree view to limit the list to
some item types.
•
Quick text search in the Search Panel - Enter free text in the Quick Text Search field
to perform a search on a specific string.
•
Advanced search filter in the Search Panel – Enter specific criteria in the Advanced
Search area to perform a search on a specific metadata of the elements.
These search tools are explained in detail below.
All these search tools can be combined.
An applied filter can be saved for later use. Such a saved filter can then be applied in one
click later on.
A search can also be facilitated by ordering the Elements grid. See section “Elements
Grid” for more information.
5.2 Branch Selection in the Database Tree
