Tags, Search & Filters
Folders give you hierarchy. Tags give you cross-cutting labels. Search and filters give you precision. Together they make a library of thousands of resources easy to navigate.
Tags
Tags are a global, color-coded labeling system that cuts across folders.
Creating tags
- Open the tag manager from the filter panel or any file row's Tags action (tag icon)
- Click + New Tag
- Enter a name and pick a color
- Save
Applying tags to a resource file
- Open a file row's Manage Tags dialog
- Tick the tags you want to apply
- Save
Tag dots appear on the file thumbnail in grid view and next to the file name in list view, color-matched to the tag.
Filtering by tag
- Open the Filters panel
- Click a tag
- The grid updates to show only resources with that tag
- A chip above the grid shows: "Filtering by tag:
<tag name>" with a clear button
Folder Search
At the top of the folder tree there's a Search folders… input. Type to filter the tree by folder name. Matches highlight; non-matches collapse out of view.
Resource Search
At the top of the resource grid there's a Search files… input. Searches by:
- File name
- Resource title
- Description
- For Post and FAQ resources, the section content (when search indexing is enabled)
Search is case-insensitive and matches partial words.
Global Search (Cmd+K)
The fastest way to jump to a known resource by name:
- Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) anywhere in the portal
- The omnisearch overlay opens
- Type a few characters
- Resources appear alongside other content (tickets, projects, contacts)
- Press Enter on a result to jump directly to it
Filters
The Filters button reveals a side panel with:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| File type | Image, document, video, audio, archive, other |
| Tag | Any active tag (see Tags above) |
| Date range | Created or modified within a window |
| Client (admin only) | Filter to a specific client's resources |
| Resource type | Single, Grouped, Post, FAQ, Color, Gallery, App |
A Clear filters button resets everything.
Active filters show as chips above the grid so you always know what scope you're seeing.
Sort
The Sort dropdown above the grid offers:
- Newest — most recently created first (default)
- Oldest — least recent first
- A → Z — alphabetical
- Z → A — reverse alphabetical
- Last modified — most recently updated
- Largest — by file size
- Smallest — by file size
Sort applies within the current folder and respects active filters.
View Modes
Toggle between two display modes with the view button above the grid:
Grid view
Thumbnail cards with title, tag dots, and quick actions. Best for visual content (galleries, color palettes, image-heavy resources).
List view
Dense table with sortable columns: name, type, size, modified, tags. Best for scanning many resources at once.
The toggle is remembered per session.
