Asset Card Display

The asset card is the container you see your asset in. Shade currently supports a grid list, tile, or column views.

View Options

Grid

A tiled grid-view of assets that can also include asset metadata. Choose:

  • desired metadata attributes to display

  • whether the thumbnail is fit or fill

  • the card size

List

A spreadsheet-style view of your files and folder with columns and rows. Choose:

  • desired metadata attributes to display

  • whether the thumbnail is fit or fill

  • thumbnail size

Tile

A metadata-free view similar to Grid where assets thumbnails match their corresponding aspect ratio. Choose:

  • thumbnail size

  • rounded or flat corners for thumbnails

Column

A left to right flow through your folder hierarchy. Choose:

  • whether the thumbnail is fit or fill

  • thumbnail size

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:

  1. Within a Drive select “Display”

  2. 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.
