Introduction
Within your QBank you will be able to utilize and display different types of properties.
Depending on the property type, certain function will be available to you.
In the example we will illustrate here, we will use a property type that is Keywords or List.
As a general rule you can apply the following:
If the property is Keywords or List --> Append, Overwrite, Remove or Clear Field will be available
If the property is Dropdown --> Overwrite or Clear Field will be available
*Important note: When you enter values in the keyword field, make sure to use the comma "," to separate each value.
Let's go through each function/option so you can get a better understanding of what each of them does.
The "Append" option
STEP-BY-STEP Guide:
- Select several assets of your choice
- Click on the Edit button or right-click and choose edit
- Select a property, choose the "Append" option and add values to your properties
- Click save and all your values will be added to each selected asset
Append would simply add values to a given keyword/list property
In the following example, we selected 3 assets and added the
Keywords "New York", "Buildings", "Architecture" and "Flat Iron"
As you can see the four Keywords are now available on our 3 selected assets.
The "Overwrite" option
STEP-BY-STEP Guide:
- Select several assets of your choice
- Click on the Edit button or right-click and choose edit
- Select a property, choose the "Overwrite" option
- Click save and all your values will be overwritten (replaced) with the new inserted values.
Overwrite would replace the older values with the new selected values of a given keyword/list property
As you can see, we have replaced four keywords with two keywords values, and now all the selected assets are showing the two keywords values (and removed all our previous value from the Keyword field).
The "Remove" option
STEP-BY-STEP Guide:
- Select several assets of your choice
- Click on the Edit button or right-click and choose edit
- Select a property, choose the "Remove" option
- Click save and all your selected value(s) will be removed.
Remove would simply remove a value from the list/keyword property
We can remove a single value or several values using the "Remove" function via multi-edit.
The "Clear Field" option
STEP-BY-STEP Guide:
- Select several assets of your choice
- Click on the Edit button or right-click and choose edit
- Select a property, choose the "Clear Field" option
- Click save and all your values will be removed within the selected field
Clear Field would remove all values from a given property keywords/list, but the property would remain, it would simply have no values in it.
In this example we will choose assets that have some values in the Keywords (on the second screenshot, we can see 6 keywords suggested so we have a total of 6 values incorporated in 3 different assets).
We successfully removed all values of our keywords property on all the selected assets.
Important Note
The multi-edit view is very flexible
When you are entering the Multi-Edit view, you can fine-tune your selection after clicking the edit button and make another selection within your initial selection.
- On Mac you can use the "Command" key to select several assets of your choice while holding the key "Command", On PC you can hold the "Ctrl" Key
- Hold the "Shift" key on Mac or PC if you'd like to select several assets in a row.
