Navigating the digital asset hierarchy
In Assets, the digital asset hierarchy allows you to quickly find the directory node or asset you want to view or manage. The digital asset hierarchy displays under Directory on the Assets page. When you select a folder under Directory , the Directory Contents list will update to display the child nodes (directory nodes and assets) inside the selected directory node.
If the Asset Filter field is set to Published Only, Staged Only, or Hidden Only, you may not see all of the assets to which you have access in the Directory Contents list. Setting the Asset Filter field to All Assets will display all of the assets to which you have access.
| |
The directory and asset nodes that you can view or manage depend on the permissions of your login and of the nodes. If your login does not have the required permissions to view or manage a directory or asset, that directory or asset will not display in the Directory tree. |
