Locating assets
Three tools are provided for locating assets: Sorting, Search, and Links. You can set
how assets are sorted by selecting the “sort by” attribute for the asset list. For
example, you can sort by name, modified date, length, etc. The Search dialog box
provides both basic search and advanced search modes for locating assets anywhere
in the iVDR media storage. Advanced search mode allows you to define search
criteria for assets based on user defined metadata. The Links dialog box helps you
determine assets that are related. For example, you can locate the source clip used to
generate a subclip, or you can determine if there are copies of a given clip.

• “Sorting assets in the Asset List” on page 243
