Is it possible to write a search syntax for Niagara Tags? I would like to create a custom content browser filter to show me Niagara systems with a specific tag I’ve created.
Thanks
Hello @sarahakers!
From what I understand, you’re looking to filter Niagara Systems in the Content Browser using custom tags, unfortunately the search syntax in the Content Browser does not currently support Niagara Asset Tags directly.
However, there are two solid alternatives:
1- Use the Niagara Asset Browser
- Create a Niagara Asset Tag Definition (FX > Advanced > Niagara Asset Tag Definitions).
- Assign tags to your Niagara Systems or Emitters.
- Open Window > Niagara Asset Browser your tags will show up as categories, and you can browse assets that way.
2- Use Collections for Content Browser filtering
- Add your Niagara assets to a Collection.
- Then use the search syntax:
Collection:YourCollectionName
If you’re still facing challenges or have new questions, feel free to share.
Would be great to have this functionality in the future, but for now collections will do what I need. Thanks!
It is actually possible to filter by Niagara tag.
Filtering by Niagara Asset Tag is buried in “Other Filters”. However, its limited to using this filter to set a tag, rather than being able to pre-make a custom filter for specific tags.
If this filter is available, I would assume it should be possible to access Niagara Tags when writing custom filters but I don’t know what the syntax is.
