With the Dynamic Field Visibility option, Record View Sets and Category View Sets can be configured to display or not to display fields depending either on the file format type of the selected asset, or the Container Type of the selected category, or depending on the result of a saved query. (For more information on queries, see Searching with the Find Window.)
For example, you may want to see the duration information for audio or video assets, whereas this information doesn’t make sense for picture assets. Instead of having different View Sets for different types of assets, you can define just one View Set which adapts to the currently selected asset.
The Dynamic Field Visibility option works with the following view modes only:
• the Asset Information window and the Category Information window,
• the Information view
• the information displayed with the Fullscreen Preview
To have record fields or category fields displayed dynamically:
1. Select Cumulus / Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Record View Sets, or Category View Sets.
3. Under Set, select the View Set you want to configure.
4. Click the icon for either the Info View, or the Asset Info window, or the Preview Window.
5. Select the field whose properties you want to change.
6. Click Properties.
The Properties window is displayed.
7. In the Dynamic Field Visibility section,
activate the Only when the file format type is one of the following option, then select the file format type(s) or the container type(s) for which the field shall be displayed. OR activate the Only when matching the query option, then select a saved query.
NOTE: Make sure to select a query that does not contain placeholders!
8. Click OK to assign the setting to the field. The Properties window is closed.
9. Click Apply. The field is displayed according to your settings.
NOTE: Dynamic Field Visibility for Separators Dynamic Field visibility works with separators, too. If a separator is not displayed due to the configured criteria, none of the fields below that separator will be displayed regardless of their individual settings. But then, if the separator is displayed, the settings for individual fields are taken into account.
