Asset:

These filters relate to the attributes of an asset. Some examples are:

  • Created/Modified by Me: The asset was one you created or updated.
  • Point and Radius: Lets you search for assets containing location data within a specific area

Metadata:

These filters let you filter results based on the metadata associated with those assets. There is a large variety of possible metadata fields, check the right panel of the asset finder when selecting an asset to see all the metadata associated with that asset. For example there might be a Metadata type "UNSW_RDS:UNSW_Default" with element "ProjectName". You can browse to this element and drag it into the filter field, it will let you search for text inside this metadata element.

Compound:

These filters let you combine other filters using various logical operations. Dragging these into the filter box will create a special box that you can drag other filters into, how these are affected depends on the type of compound filter:

  • And: The filters inside must all be true for the asset to appear in the search
  • Not: The filter inside must be false for the asset to appear
  • Or: Only one of the filters inside need to be true for the asset to appear
