Adding a new filter to Media Manager's search requires three actions:
- Adding a new filter to the "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" search.
- Adding the same filter to the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes"
- Creating a new label (if one does not already exist), whose Constant matches the new Filter's ID.
Media Manager uses the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" to search for assets. A user can input text in the wide text field (this is how any FreeText filters are used), and/or choose to add filters such as "Date" or "Keywords":
2.1 Adding an Asset type filter
First the filter must be added to the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search":
- Go to the DAM Center → System tools → ConfigManager.
- Choose DigiZuite™ Media Manager.
- Choose the version, which your Media Manager is set up to use.
- Click the "Searches" tab.
- Select the "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search" search.
- Add an asset type filter.
- Save the search.
- Populate the search (see UseSolr for a more detailed guide).
- Ensure that the search has been populated by refreshing the page; if the "populate search cache" cog-wheel button is not present, the search has been successfully populated.

10. Then you MUST add the same filter to the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes".
11. If a label with the correct Constant and Label does not exist, then you MUST create one. Unlike Add new meta data field to Media Manager's Asset Preview, if a label with a Constant matching the added filter's ID does not exists, the Media Manager will throw an error, which results in the filters being unavailable (see 1 Add new meta data field to Media Manager's Asset Preview's section 1.2 Adding a new label for a thorough guide on how to create a label).
In this case, a label already exists with a Constant "sAssetType" and Label "Asset type".
12. Recycle the Media Manager website.
After doing so, refreshing Media Manager will display three filters:
2.2 Removing a filter
This is done by removing the filter from the search "DigiZuite_System_Framework_Search". You SHOULD also clean up the searches "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Favorites" and "DigiZuite_System_Framework_My_Videoes".
