Predefined asset groups

The asset system provides predefined asset groups for all the predefined platforms.

See Predefined platforms.

The predefined asset groups are dynamic in nature. The predefined dynamic asset groups are created by default at the time of installation. The predefined asset groups are based on certain asset-specific field filters. The filters for the asset groups form the definitions for the assets that are included in the asset group.

Note:

You can use the predefined asset groups only after you copy the asset group to the folder in which you want to group the assets.

You can use the predefined asset groups to provide scope for asset import.
