Viewing and editing asset properties using the Gallery Browser
When you save an asset in Xstudio, you are prompted to provide information that helps to
characterize and archive the asset, such as the author’s name, a description of the asset,
category and keyword assignments, the creation date... etc. We refer to this information as
the asset’s Properties.
Once the asset has been saved, its properties can be viewed and some property fields can
be edited. There is a set of property fields that are common to all assets, but there are also
property fields that are specified to the type of asset. The following table identifies the asset
property fields that are common to all assets:
Name Displays asset’s name.
•
This is a read-only field. However, if you would like to change the name
of the asset, you can by using the Asset Browser’s R
ENAME command.
• It is recommended that you give assets names that reflect their content
or use, so that they are easily recognizable and distinguish from similar
assets.
