Grid

The Grid shows all assets in your library as thumbnails. It is the primary way to browse, search, and manage your content.

Searching and filtering

At the top of the Grid is a search bar that supports both keyword and semantic search. Below it, a row of filter dropdowns lets you narrow results by:

State, Source, Asset type, Licence, Album, Vault, Orientation, Credit, Extension, Added by, Collection, Blog topic, Brand guidelines, Category, Competitors, Help topic, Industry, Resources, SEO keywords

Use AND / OR toggle to control whether multiple filters narrow or broaden your results.

Asset states

Assets can be in one of several states:

bk2-archive-state
  • Active — visible to users in the Portal with appropriate access
  • Draft — hidden from the portal and regular users; admin-only. Also the default state on upload or create.
  • Unreleased — before their release date
  • Expired — past their expiry date
  • Archived - has been archived
  • Deleted - has been deleted

Standard Filters

You can further refine your search results by selecting a standard filter dropdown to add an additional search facet (search parameter).

These include:

  • Source
  • Asset Type
  • Licence
  • Vault
  • Orientation
  • File extension
  • Added by (the user that uploaded or created the asset)
  • Collection ( filter by your previously saved collections)

Custom Filters

You can further refine your search results by selecting a custom filter dropdown to add an additional search facet (search parameter).

You set these up in (1) Settings > (2) Filters to match the way your company categorizes your own content.
