Configure asset list to show specific assets

To have the asset list show a specific set of assets, display creators must configure the asset list to show assets from a defined search. This configuration can offer more flexibility than listing assets only based on templates.

1. Open the configuration pane.

   There are two methods:

   • Right-click the display canvas, and then click Configure Context Switching.

   • In the asset list, click Configure asset context switching.

2. Click Show search results to specify that a particular set of assets be listed.

   The pane lists additional configuration options for applying the selected asset to the display and for specifying the search criteria for the listed attributes. By default, the search criteria matches the assets currently in the display.

3. Under Action, click Use current asset to apply asset switches only to matching assets (that is, those with the same template or all assets if the assets do not have a template).

4. Specify the search criteria that lists the desired assets.

   The fields under Search Criteria define the assets to list; initially, they match the assets in the display. See Set asset list options.

   For example, suppose your database contains multiple sites and each site contains a set of tanks. To have the asset list show the tanks under a particular site, set the Search Root field to list the site.
