Relevancy within Brandfolder
By default, when searching for a term, the returned assets are populated by relevancy. Once a search is executed, the Relevancy and Position options appear in the Sort by dropdown. The sort option you select persists as you keep searching.
You can deactivate the "Organize by section" option, which allows for true relevancy. Instead of the typical section organization, assets are sorted based on their relevancy scores.
Relevance is the numerical output of an algorithm that provides a score to determine which assets are most textually similar to a given question. The concept of a score is complex; generally, more matches within an asset lead to a higher score. An entire match doesn't guarantee that the asset with the highest score is what you seek, but a higher score results in a higher relevance of the asset.
Set a default sort option
The Owner on the Brandfolder level can set the initial default sort option for a Brandfolder.
- Go to Settings > General Settings in the upper right.
- Select the Advanced tab. Scroll until you find the Default Sort Option.
- Select your desired default sort option from the dropdown menu.
Even if an Owner sets a default sort option, the end-users can change it based on their personal search needs.
