This section guides you through the functionalities of the Graphic Hub Browser, a web-based tool integrated in Viz Arc that allows you to browse for assets and media in the Graphic Hub.

This new, web-based, tool replaces the previous Browser in the endeavor of resolving performances issues and adding new features.

The Graphic Hub Browser shows Folders and Assets by querying the Viz GH REST specified in the Vizrt Systems Configuration section of Viz Arc settings.

Main Features

Projects and Folders Tree

The left panel illustrates the Projects and Folders structure of the Graphic Hub. Click on a folder's name to see its content. You can explore the subfolders by clicking on the arrow icon or by double-clicking on the folder's name.

Folder's Content / Assets

Once a folder is selected, the content is displayed according to the Asset Type selected. Once you've found your asset, you can select it by double clicking.

Assets Type

Here, you can switch between various Assets Type defined by the Graphic Hub, each one represented by a tab. You can only browse one kind of assets at a time. The available types are shown according to the Asset you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for an image, solely the IMAGE tab is available.

View Mode / Sorting

Here you can choose the display options of the folder's content.

Clicking on the view-mode button you can choose how the Assets are displayed.

Clicking on the sort button you can choose how the Assets are sorted.

Search

Here you can search for Assets in the Graphic Hub. Click the magnifier icon, and a text field expands and shows you the search widget.

In the text field marked with 1 you can type the filename (or part of it) of the file(s) that you are looking for. When you press enter or leave the text field, the query starts and the search results are shown.

By default, the search is made Graphic Hub wide, meaning the GH REST looks for the files with the specified filename in every Project of Folder, regardless of where they are located in Graphic Hub.

You can restrict the search to the current folder and subfolders by clicking on the folder icon marked 2. When this switch is enabled, you can select any folder on the Projects and Folders tree and the search is restricted to the newly selected folder and subfolders.

You can close the search results by clicking on the double chevron icon marked 3. Whenever you click again on the search button, the last query result is shown.

Bookmarks

You can bookmark every Folder in the Graphic Hub. Right-click on the desired folder, a context menu shows up, then click on the Add bookmark option.

You can now open a previously saved bookmark by clicking on the Bookmarks button, and the full list of previously saved bookmarks is shown.

To delete a bookmark, right-click the bookmarked folder and then click on the Remove bookmark option.

Text Filtering

You can filter all the Assets whose filename contains a desired string by typing any alphanumeric character.

 This works both when navigating the Folders and on the search results.

Import Images into the Graphic Hub

To import an image, it is necessary to select a folder and then drag one or more images from the user file-system to the right panel. An overlay appears as shown in picture.

Once the image(s) is dropped it is automatically uploaded.

The accepted extensions are the followings:

• image/jpeg

• image/png

• image/bmp

• image/tiff

• image/gif

• image/tga

If there are one or more conflicts between filenames, a prompt appears asking the user what action you would like to take.
