Finding an image

download Download PDF

A library is only useful if people can find things in it. There are four ways to narrow it down, and they combine.

FilterNarrows to
SearchA product or photo name.
Media categoryThe group an image was filed in.
Product, range or product categoryImages attached to a particular thing you sell.
TagsAnything the uploader labelled it with.
Share statusShared, unshared, or shared from another organisation or tribe.

Starred media

Star the images you use constantly — the current campaign, the logo everyone asks for — and they are one click away instead of a search. It is the single most useful habit in a library of any size.

Sorting

The list can be sorted alphabetically, by date uploaded or updated, and by download count. Download count is worth a look occasionally — it tells you what your network actually uses, which is rarely what you expect.

IF NOBODY CAN FIND IT, NOBODY WILL USE IT
An image uploaded with no name, no category and no tags is invisible in practice. The minute spent describing it at upload is what makes the library worth having.
