The primary view of an archived item is the asset view, a view that opens up when you double-click on an archived item within the main view. From here, you’ll be presented immediately with the “Overview” tab, along with the preview of the artifact, as well as the History Factory catalog data for the artifact.
Overview Tab
The initial view when opening an archived item is the “Overview” tab. For a digital file that’s an image, you can select and enlarge the preview. For a digital file that’s a video, you can play the content from the Asset Modal view. In the example above, we are able to play the digital file directly through the web browser simply by clicking the “Play” button over the video.
When you open an archived item, the first item you will notice within the Asset Modal view is a preview of the digital item. Depending on the item that you open, you will see different options:
For video files, you will see a frame of the uploaded video with a “Play” button. Pressing the Play button will play the video in your browser.
For image files and documents, you will see a preview of the item. You’ll also see a link to open the digital file in a new tab (“Open in new tab”).
