No Value filter

For Custom Fields with open text, single or multiple choice, a user may search for assets that do not have the field filled out or left blank by selecting the (No Value) option.



How to enable dynamic filters

You can change your filter panel logic to only see relevant metadata values in the filter panel.

This feature can be enabled under Settings > Configuration Options > Defaults > Search & Filter Panel.

Once enabled, the displayed metadata in the filter panel will dynamically update and display metadata based on the content you see.
For example: If you filter for the keyword Sand you will only see Tags, Smart Tags etc. that are added to assets with the keyword Sand.
