Searching for Assets in the Library can be done in two ways:
Using the Search Bar: Ideal for quick searches using general keywords; and
Searching with Filters: Perfect for refined searches based on specific criteria.
These two search options can be used separately or together to help you locate assets as quickly as possible.
Locate the Search Bar at the top of your library.
Enter a general keyword relevant to your desired asset (e.g., "brand," "presentation").
Press Enter to initiate the search. The search considers asset names, tags, and descriptions (case-insensitive).
Click the "X" on the search term or use the Delete key to remove the keyword.
The Search Bar was specifically designed to deliver lightning fast search results in order to minimize the amount of time you spend searching for Assets. The general keyword search is performed against Asset names, tags, and the ‘description’ metadata field (case insensitive).
Search Filters are another way to quickly find Assets saved within your Library, and can be used for more specific searches. Search Filters can be used in combination with general keyword searches, or by themselves.
To add a Search Filter, click the down arrow on the Search bar, and select a filter that you would like to apply.
Search Filters include:
Note: "Production date" is an optional field on Assets; if an Asset doesn’t contain this field and this ‘produced from’ filter is being used, it will be filtered.
You can combine multiple Search Filters for more accurate results. In the below example, a date filter is used in conjunction with a tag and user filter.
Allows users to find specific text within PDF files stored in the Library. It shows results that help users locate files containing the searched term and highlights that term within the files for easy viewing.
Note: Always ensure to tick the “Scan PDF Contents” checkbox when uploading a PDF file. If you don't, the content of your file won't be scanned. As a result, any phrases within the file will not appear in the search results.
Go to the Library: Navigate to the library section of your HIVO account, found in the main menu on the right side.
Enter Keyword: In the search bar, type the specific keyword or phrase you want to find for accurate results. You can filter to "PDF Text" for more precise results.
Click Search: Click the search button to initiate the search.
View Results: The system will return a list of all files containing the searched text.
Select a PDF File: After performing a library pdf search, a list of files containing the searched term will be displayed. Browse through the list and click on the file you wish to view in asset detail page.
Automatic Scrolling: The view will automatically scroll to the first page containing the searched term.
Highlighted Text: The searched text will be highlighted in the PDF.
Open the Asset Detail View: Navigate to and open the "View Asset Detail" screen where the selected PDF file is displayed.
Begin Searching: Locate and click on the search icon, within the "Asset Detail View" screen. This will open a search input field.
Enter Search Term: In the search input field, type the term you want to find within the PDF file. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to initiate the search.
Locate and Highlight the Term: Similar to the Library search, the system will now locate the first occurrence of the searched term within the PDF. The searched term will be highlighted for quick identification.
Automatically Go to the Relevant Page: The view will automatically scroll or navigate to the first page where the searched term appears, ensuring you can easily find the relevant content within the document.
