Filter options in Asset browser

Filter options in Asset browser

Our company consists of a couple of industries. We have created a product structure that fits all industries. Our asset browser currently looks like this:

A list of folders that describe a certain department in a factory

In each of these folders you will find another list of folders describing the subcategories of each department

And in each of these subcategory folders you will find Assets of all industries of our company.

 

Let's say we have industry A, B, C & D with their own specific equipment AND we have industry X with equipment that can be used by all other industries.

 

Now when I am creating a factory layout for industry A, I only want to see the assets for Industry A and X in the asset browser. Seeing all other assets makes the browser too large and makes it very user unfriendly.

 

Our idea was to give each asset a custom property (e.g. industry) and have a filter in the asset browser where I can select which industries I want to see.

 

Is such a thing possible to create or do you maybe have another solution for this issue?

 

Thank you very much!

Why not using different libraries per industry?

This way you can enable them as needed per project

@ntzimas because that was not the point of my question. I want to be able to filter the asset browser on certain properties. Industry was just meant as an example. Of course I can split this up in different libraries, but what if I want to filter on something else? For example capacity of the machines, or maybe maximum size of the input product etc. etc.

Ok that opens many possibilities.
