The user can find assets by the means of free text search by clicking the white rectangle in on the top bar.
While the user types in the text, the results are narrowed down in real time.
The top 6 asset results appear in on the top part of the list under the search box, without having to execute the search. Each list item contains a small thumbnail, title and location of the asset. Hovering mouse pointer over each item will result in a larger asset preview on the right. The larger preview offers the access to a few more metadata values as well as a few action options (favorite, share, download, crop, replace, audit trail and print).
The user can click "View all" in order to execute the search and see all the results in the main window.
From version 5.1.0 the user has the ability to multiselect assets from the list of top 8 results without having to execute the search. The selected assets will be included in the selection pool according to the normal principles of multiselection. In order to select an asset, the user needs to hover mouse pointer over an asset and then over the thumbnail in the larger preview on the right. The clickable checkmark check mark will be visible in the upper left corner of the asset thumbnail.
