Grass Valley Aurora Browse v.7.0 - Manual (Page 11)

Tip: You can designate a location as a favorite. This creates a shortcut folder
in the Explore tab. Favorites can be local only or global so that all the users on
your network can access them.
NOTE: A red dot next to an MDI indicates there is no communication with the
MDI, and a green dot indicates the server is communicating with the MDI. If a red
X is displayed against the MDI, the server is communicating with the MDI but the
MDI is experiencing a problem.

Customizing the Aurora Browse window
The Aurora Browse client can be customized to suit your individual needs.
You can choose which columns to display in the Asset List view or in Transfer
Manager. Transfer Manager and the Asset List, Asset Navigator and Asset Details
views are all dockable and resizable.
Some examples of how you can change the Browse layout include:
• Triggering the autohide feature to hide a view — click on the thumbtack icon in
the upper right-hand corner of the view. A tab with the view’s name on it appears
on the side of the workspace. If you move the mouse to another view, the autohidden
view disappears. Moving the mouse over the tab causes the autohidden view to
appear. Clicking again on the thumbtack icon returns the view to its original
location.
• Hiding a view— right click on the blue title bar of a view and select Hide. To bring
the view back, select Window from the File menu. An unchecked view is hidden.
Clicking on the view returns it to its original location.
• Detaching a view—right click on the blue title bar of the view and select Floating.
The view is now separate from the other Browse views. Double-clicking on the
blue title bar returns the view to its original location.
• Moving a view to a different location — drag the blue title bar of a view. Double
clicking on the blue title bar restores the view to its original location.
• Changing the columns displayed in the Asset List view or in Transfer Manager
—right-click on one of the column names and select which columns to view.
• Viewing thumbnails in the Asset List view — click the Search tab and right-click
in the Asset List view. The thumbnails option displays.
• Sorting the list — click on the column you want to sort by.
• Change the display to thumbnail view — right-click on a column name.
• You can save your changes in a workspace ( Window | Workspace | Save Workspace ).
You can also delete a workspace or return to the default workspace.
