You reach the Home page of the asset management system by clicking on the COMSOL logo or the Home link in the top navigation bar. The Home page is the default landing page when you log in to the Model Manager server web interface. Click Assets in the upper left corner to search for assets in the database. Click Models and Files to search for models and data files in repositories.

You can search for the latest versions of assets from the Home page of the asset management system. Write search and filter expressions in the Search field and press Enter or click the magnifying glass to trigger a new search. You can write plain search words and any number of filter expressions using the Model Manager search syntax — see Searching on Asset Attributes. Plain search words will match on the identifier, title, and description of assets.

Matching assets are shown in a paginated table below the Search field. Select Rank, Title, or Last Modified to change the field being sorted on — sorting by rank means that those assets that best match the search expression are shown first. Toggle between ascending and descending order by clicking the vertical arrow button next to the sort field list. Select Table View or Compact View to show or hide the assets’ thumbnail images in the table.

Place the mouse cursor over a table cell to see a tooltip with its contents. This helps, for example, when reading long description texts in Compact View.

Click on a row to open the corresponding Asset page for an asset in the table.

You can apply asset filters from the Filters menu — click the vertical expander bar on the left side of the Home page if the menu is not already visible. The available filter options for a new Model Manager server installation are:

The search result is automatically updated as you specify the value of each filter. Click Clear Filters in the Filters menu to clear all specified filter values.

Currently active filters are shown in the Active filters list under the Search field. Click the cross button to remove a filter. Click Clear All Filters to remove all filters.

Asset filters specified via input fields support being written as the field value part of a field expression — see also Asset Search Syntax. You can, for example, surround words with quote characters (“...”) to match them as phrases or use an asterisk symbol (*) for wildcard matching. A warning banner is shown below the input field if there is a problem with the search syntax — see Syntax Errors. The corresponding filter in the Active filters list also shows a warning icon. Click the warning icon to focus the problematic filter input.

Click the eye icon next to a filter option to show or hide the corresponding table column in the search result. You can also show or hide the Title, Description, Thumbnail, Library, and Asset Type fields as table columns.

Click Models and Files on the Home page of the asset management system to search for versions of items — that is, models and data files — in the Model Manager server database. Write search and filter expressions in the Search field and press Enter or click the magnifying glass to trigger a new search. You can write plain search words and any number of filter expressions using the Model Manager search syntax.

Matching versions are shown in a paginated table below the Search field. Select Rank, Title, Saved, Saved In, Size, or Computed Data to change the field being sorted on — sorting by rank means that those versions that best match the search expression are shown first. Toggle between ascending and descending order by clicking the vertical arrow button next to the sort field list.

Click on a row to open the corresponding Model or File page for a model or file version in the table.

You can filter the search result by applying item filters from the Filters menu — see also Asset Filters. The available filter options are:

The search result is automatically updated as you specify the value of each filter. Click Clear Filters in the Filters menu to clear all specified filter values.

A warning banner is shown below the input field if there is a problem with the search syntax — see Syntax Errors. The corresponding filter in the Active filters list also shows a warning icon.
