Searching the Catalog by Attribute Value
You can further refine your search for assets by choosing one or more searchable attributes. The list of searchable attributes varies depending on asset type selection.
*To search the catalog by attribute value
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Search.
This opens the Asset Search page.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Types panel, choose an asset type from the drop-down list. This list contains the predefined and user-defined asset types currently available in CentraSite.
To specify multiple asset types, use the Add button to include additional rows. When you specify several asset types in this way, the search result will include assets from all of the chosen asset types.
To search across all asset types, select All Asset Types in the drop-down list.
You may use the chevron to expand or collapse the Types panel.
4. In the Criteria section, choose a searchable attribute from the first drop-down list. Depending on the data type of a chosen attribute, subsequent fields, for example, operators, and input fields varies widely.
To specify multiple attributes, use the Add button to include additional rows. When you specify several attributes in this way, the search result will include assets that match all of the chosen attributes.
You may use the chevron to expand or collapse the Criteria panel.
5. Click Search.
CentraSite displays assets that belong to the selected type(s) and that match the specified attribute values in the area labeled Assets.
