Work with asset details

Asset details provide information about an asset. Use asset details to manage, find, or compare assets.

Introduction

Asset details provide information about an asset. Based on the asset type, censhare Web stores different types of details. Some asset details provide general information about the asset. For example, the creation date, owner, and asset ID. Other asset details store information that is only relevant to a specific asset type. For example, the resolution, format, and color space of an image asset. You can search for asset details or sort the asset list accordingly.

In censhare Web, you can view, search, and edit asset details in several ways.

Details tab and widgets on asset pages

In the standard configuration of censhare Web, the “Overview” and ‘Details” tabs of asset pages display key information about the asset in various widgets.
