Asset Grid
Asset grids are used for all asset data pools in the portals. The actual available features of the asset grid depend on the configuration of the asset data pool. See asset pool configuration for details.
Navigation
The asset grid provides two options for navigating through the assets:
- Navigation via Pimcore folder structure: The folder tree is based on Pimcore folder structure and depending on data pool workspace definition and user permissions. Clicking on a folder shows all elements located in this folder and any sub folders.
- Navigation via Pimcore tags: The tag navigation is based on a sub tree of the Pimcore tags tree. The root tag for the tag navigation is defined via data pool configuration. If user selects multiple tags, the result set contains all elements that have all selected tags assigned.
Filtering
In addition to the navigation options, the asset grid also supports filters to further filter the result set. The filters allow filtering based on system and metadata attributes and need to be configured. Single or multi select filter are available.

- Grid-View: Shows big preview and name of asset in a grid like view.
