You can save searches you create as smart searches. Final Cut Server comes with several
default smart searches listed under the My Smart Searches heading on the left of the
main Final Cut Server window. These smart searches, as well as any you create, are unique
to your Final Cut Server client. Other smart searches that are configured and managed
by your Final Cut Server administrator and that appear on every Final Cut Server client in
your system may appear under Smart Searches. If your administrator has not created
smart searches for your organization, you will not see the Smart Searches heading in your
Final Cut Server client. See Organizing and Searching the Final Cut Server Catalog for
more information.
Asset Info Window
The info window contains a large amount of information about the asset. When you
double-click an asset that is listed in the Assets pane or in a production (or Control-click
an asset and then choose Get Info from the asset’s shortcut menu), the asset’s info window
appears.
The left side of the asset info window displays the asset’s thumbnail image and general
asset metadata. The right side of the asset is organized into multiple panes that list specific
types of information. You can view the information in each pane by clicking the pane’s
button.

files that were generated for the asset. It also displays other information about where
the asset is used.
