Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 186)

Searching for numbers
You can search for numbers in three ways:
• To find a number in an asset’s name, use the Asset Name text field.
• To find a number in the asset’s text field metadata, such as the description, use the
Asset Metadata text field.
• To find a number only in a specific category, such as a number metadata field or
a specific Creation Date, Modification Date, etc., create a filter and select the
property to search on.
NOTE: You cannot search for single numbers in the Asset Metadata text field. Any single
character, letter or number, is treated like a “noise” word and is ignored. To search for a
single number in the metadata, create a filter.

serve as one-click shortcuts to the locations you use most, and also as destinations
onto which you can drag assets to transfer them across the network.
