Browsing or searching for templates, pages or scenes on an Xmedia
Server
The VertigoXG Viewer’s Browse view allows you to explore and display the template, page
and scene assets currently stored on the specified Xmedia Server.
Use the Asset Browser to navigate through the Xmedia Server’s Templates, Pages and
Scenes categories, as well as their sub-categories. The contents of a selected category are
displayed in the pane to the right of the Asset Browser.
The graphic below demonstrates that the selected category’s assets can be displayed two
view types, which is determined by the Change the view setting in the toolbar:
• Detail View: Displays the category’s assets in a detailed list.
• Proxy View: Displays the category’s assets as thumbnail images.
The Startup View setting in the VertigoXG Viewer’s Preferences settings determines which
view is used when the VertigoXG Viewer is initially opened in Browse view.
Fig. 3-2: Template, page and scene assets stored on the XMS can be displayed in Proxy or Detail View
Double-clicking the template, page or scene asset opens in the template/page/scene in the
VertigoXG Viewer’s Edit view.
If the VertigoXG Viewer opens in Edit view, you can switch to browse view by clicking the
Create new
toolbar button.
Another method for exploring and accessing template, page and scene assets stored on the
specified Xmedia Server is to use the Search tool. The Search tool allows you build a search
query based on asset properties like name, author or a date range. When a query is
performed, the Search tool returns a list of the assets that match the search conditions. Like
the VertigoXG Viewer’s Browse view, the Search tool can display the results in Proxy View or
Detail View.
Double-clicking the template, page or scene asset in the Search tool’s results pane opens
the template/page/scene in the VertigoXG Viewer’s Edit view.
Although the Search tool can search and locate all asset types, only template, page and
scene assets can be opened in the VertigoXG Viewer.
