Browser

The Browser allows you to browse files related to assets and shots. To look for files :

browser_structure

  • Select the entity type (1)
  • Select your asset/shot (2)
  • File Kinds (4) are regrouped under tasks (3)
  • Selecting an asset/shot document and a File Kind triggers a file search: all files matching the naming convention appear in the right hand side (5).

⚠Warning: This also mean that files that do not strictly match the naming convention will not appear.

browser_no_match

Selection

Searching for files with a single document selected will reveal all the files for this specific document.

browser_selection_single

On the other hand, looking for files with multiple documents selected will show the last file found for each.

browser_selection_multiple

The Documents and Files columns have an extended selection mode, so various shortcuts are available: - Ctrl + click -> additive selection - Shift + click -> contiguous selection - Ctrl + A -> Select all - Shift + up/down arrow -> Extend selection up/down - Ctrl + Space -> Unselect last selected item

Filters

The Browser comes with various filtering options to help you find your documents.

Name Filter

The name filter looks for documents names that contain the search string, and is case insensitive.\ For instance:

  • CAT will return catherine and blackCat
  • er will return terry and pepper

browser_filter_name

Multiple search strings can be used at once, using the ; separator:

  • CAT;ry will return catherine, blackCat, terry and curry

Field Filter

Field filters are here to filter documents by other attributes than their name. The filters are in order: from the less specific to the more specific, which helps you narrow down your query.

browser_filter_fields

Tag Filter

(Coming soon. the Tag feature has not been released yet.)

Actions

Various actions can be performed on the various elements of the Browser. BluePepper comes with a few handy actions out of the box, feel free to try them out.

Tips And Tricks

💡You can hover above documents to display the full document.

browser_hover_document

💡This option is more advanced, but if you know what you are doing, you can write a MondoDB query as a filter: - {"asset" : "cat"} will return cat but not blackCat
