Asset Card Display
The asset card is the container you see your asset in. Shade currently supports a grid view and a list view.
View Options
In the list view you can choose:
the order your folders and files appear
the size of the thumbnail
In grid view, you can choose:
whether the thumbnail is fit or fill
the card size
Additionally, in all views there is the option to flatten directories, which will remove all folders from view, essentially showing you the files within the selected folder and its children.
Custom Metadata Display
You can add custom metadata fields to your asset cards to display additional information:
Create custom metadata attributes (tags, text, numbers, checkboxes, etc.)
Choose which metadata fields are visible in your views
View metadata in both grid and list views
Control metadata visibility when sharing collections with clients
Flattened Directory Views
Shade supports flattening directories to display all assets across folders in a spreadsheet-like format:
Within a Drive select “Display”
Select the “Flatten Directories” toggle
This is particularly useful for reviewing large volumes of assets across multiple folders or when you need to sort and filter by metadata fields.
