Snapshots¶
Create a Snapshot¶
Snapshots allow you to preserve state of a directory item for restoration at a later time. To create a snapshot, simply right click on any directory item and select “Create Snapshot”
This will open a dialogue allowing you to give the snapshot a name and a description.
Once created the selected directory item should now show the created snapshot in the details panel.
Restore a Snapshot¶
To restore a snapshot, simply right click on a snapshot and select “restore”
By default it will ask to overwrite the original directory item which may be desirable for tasks where paths and links are concerned. This will however overwrite the data with the snapshot.
If pathing is not a problem (standalone asset) you can freely adjust the path so as to not overwrite.
Once complete the Restore Operation will create the new directory and all its contents exactly in the state that the snapshot was originally created.
Asset Tagging¶
Omniverse Navigator provides additional functionality for tagging assets. This functionality requires the following services to be available:
Service |
Description |
|---|---|
Tagging service |
Stores all the information about assets’s tags. |
Deeptag Search Service (optional) |
Enables tag searching functionality. |
If an asset has tags associated with it, they will be visualized in the Tags tab, as depicted by the image below.
Working with Asset Tags¶
Users can add tags to assets by writing these tags into the text box and separating each new tag with a comma, as illustrated below.
In order to confirm new tags, one should press Enter and these tags will appear in the Tags tab of the asset, as shown in the image below.
Removing tags for an asset can be done in the similar manner.
