Question
Are there any special search terms that can help me to easily and quickly conduct common searches?
Answer
Below is a collection of special search terms that if used can produce desirable results in a quick manner with little effort:
General Functions
- Search for a set number of the last uploaded photos, enter: !last[quantity]
- Search for Assets that have never been downloaded from ZDAM, enter: !nodownloads
- Search for duplicate images within ZDAM, enter: !duplicates.
- This search does a check for all images within the system so depending on your permissions, you may not be able to see all the duplicate assets in the results.
- Search for all assets that have been related to another asset in the system, enter: !related[ref]
- Search for images with a general color grade similar to a given RGB color, enter: !rgb:[r],[g],[b]
- Example: !rgb:100,100,100
- Search by a color key for similar image assets. This works much like RGB color matching but uses chroma key / color key formatting, enter: !colorkey
- Example: !colorkeyWBCNG
Admin Functions
- Assets not in any collection, enter: !unused
- This retrieves assets that have not been used in a collection and is a system-wide search on assets.
- List of assets based on the provided asset refs, enter: !list[refs colon separated]
- Example: !list1334:1335:1336:1337:1338
- All assets that have no preview available, enter: !nopreview
- Note: This will also retrieve assets with file types that would normally have no preview available.
