After you add an asset alias to a production, Final Cut Server tracks the asset as a linked
asset. You can find out what productions an asset is linked to by opening the asset’s info
window and clicking Resources. A list of productions that the asset is linked to is displayed
in the bottom-right area of the asset info window.

This asset is linked
to two productions.

Click Resources in the
asset info window.
