Spotlight searches visually highlight assets with specific search criteria and offer a convenient search option for users from the dashboard. A preview of an asset from the spotlight displays in the Spotlight Searches zone on the dashboard. Click the preview or the search name to see assets in the search.
If a user has permission to view at least one asset in a Spotlight Search, they will see the Spotlight Search preview on the dashboard. When the user clicks the Spotlight Search, only assets that user has permission to view will display.
With permission, you can create and save spotlight searches from the advanced search. To create and save spotlight searches:
Note that searches saved as spotlights with two or more values selected in the same metadata field will be saved following Boolean "or" logic. Boolean "and" logic is followed when two different metadata fields are selected for the saved search. For example, if you select bike models of Explorer and Bliss, both of which are in the “Model” metadata field, search results will include assets tagged as Explorer OR Bliss
Edit search results for spotlight searches on the Saved Searches page. Access the page from Saved searches > View all in the More dropdown.
Change a preview for a spotlight search by clicking the Change Preview link in the Spotlight Searches table on the Saved Searches page. Hover over the preview in the Preview column to see a larger version of the image that's being used.
With permission, you can create spotlight searches for parent categories from the advanced search. To create spotlight searches for categories:
You may want to remove a spotlight search from the dashboard if it's no longer a popular search or if many of the assets included have expired or been archived. Removal of spotlight searches can be done from the More dropdown.
