Actions

Independently from the actual customization of the  Preview List view, you can modify the view in the following ways:

  • Change order of columns: drag the column headers to the left or right. (Individual columns might be protected from reordering by customization).

  • Resize columns: click the separation line between two columns and dragging left or right. (Individual columns might be protected from resizing by customization).

  • Hide/show columns: Right-click the column header and select  Hide column. To show hidden columns, right-click any column header, select  Add column and then select one of the previously hidden columns from the list.

  • Sort columns: click the header of a column that should serve as sorting criteria. Click the column header again to reverse the sort order. (Individual columns might be prevented from serving as sorting criteria by customization).

  • Restore default: Individual modification of the views are saved in the user preferences and become persistent. To restore the default appearance,  right-click any column header and select  Reset. When the List view appearance is changed by customization, the individual modifications of the view will be reset automatically!

  • Shift arrows up and down adds assets to the current selection.

  • Alt-right arrow key expands the selected asset all the way down the hierarchy.

  • Ctrl-right arrow key opens a new tab and lists the children of the selected asset herein.
