• Select
Clips | Links

.
The results of the link operation are displayed in the Clips pane. The text in the
Current Bin label is replaced by a brief summary of the links operation.
NOTE: Unlike the search results, link results are not cached. You must perform the
Links operation each time to discover linked assets.
Working with asset metadata
The properties dialog box displays information about an asset as described in
“Viewing asset properties” on page 131 . The properties dialog box also includes a
user defined metadata feature that allows you to define and add your own information
about an asset. You can specify the metadata name, data type, and value.
The metadata you add for one asset automatically appears on properties pages for all
existing and future assets, except with no value entered. The values you specify for an
asset are retained with the asset for the following operations: copy, move, and send
to. The metadata you define for an asset can be used as search criteria in advanced
search.
