Bynder’s Compact View is a configurable, pre-built UI component providing a window into your DAM for searching and selecting assets from within another system. Used in many of our existing integrations, like CMS or Marketing Automation platforms, it is easily implemented with little development resources, saving time and money and accelerating the process of developing integrations into other systems.
Note
Depending on your user rights and the configuration of your portal the Universal Compact View on your side may differ from the Universal Compact View shown in the examples and screenshots of this article.
Please contact Support to enable this feature in your portal.
Search for Assets
The search bar in the left top corner of the Universal Compact View can be used for searching assets. The search functionality in the Compact Screen works the same as in the portal. You can find more information on searching for assets here.
If Smart Filters are set up for your portal, they are available in the top filter bar and can be used to filter for assets easily.
Note
In order for a smartfilter to show in the Compact view, the underlying metaproperties need to have the setting 'API field' enabled. Contact your portal administrator for this setup.
Use the Order by dropdown to change the sorting order of the assets. By clicking you can switch between ordering the assets descending or ascending.
